What can I do for my puppy with allergies?
Beeba asked:
For the last few days my six month old small dog (shitzu x chihuahua with dominant characteristics of a tibetan terrier) has had runny eyes and occasional sneezing. I’m not a dog expert, but I think he may have allergies. He is going to the vet on Tuesday to get checked out. What can I do to keep him comfortable in the meantime?
Hmm…not take him outside? Sounds a bit cruel. On top of that, where’s he supposed to “go”? On my carpet? I don’t think so.

He does have a vet appointment, so I don’t want to medicate him. I don’t know anything about veterinary science and I certainly don’t want to hurt my special boy! I’ll just let the vet tell me what meds to give him if he indeed needs meds. I’m looking for some things I can do for him that don’t involve meds to keep him comfortable in the meantime.

Does anyone know of any natural remedies for dog allergies?
RedRose asked:
My labrador has horrible allergies. She’s been to the vet several times and has been treated with everything from steriod and cortizone shots to antibiotics to shampoos and anti-itch creams and more. While the symptoms will go away after each treatment, they always come back and I hate to see her suffering from constant itching (not to mention all the treatments are getting ridiculously expensive and they don’t solve the problem long-term anyway). Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any homopathic/natural remedies? Thanks.

How can I get rid of my allergies to my cats?
New York asked:
I just recently got two kittens. I have had them for about a week already and my allergies aren’t getting any better. I am very allergic to animal hair( I pretty much get every symptom possible) but after being around the animal for a while I get used to them and I don’t have any problems.( this is with any animal) But this time it seems like I am not getting any better. I am also pregnant so I can’t take very many medicines to help with the problem. Should I get rid of the kittens or wait a little longer to see if I get used to them? Also could it be because there is two of them? Or is there anything I can do to minimize the dander from the kittens? And my last question is, is this bad for my pregnancy?
