Husky Allergies

The Common Causes Of Husky Allergies

Husky allergies can, in reality, develop into severe bronchial asthma when not treated as soon as possible. This article will acquaint you with several common husky allergies, and how you can treat such allergies correctly. Many Siberian husky, though generally healthy, can be prone to quite several skin problems, and some of those skin problems do not progress to something very serious unless addressed quickly.

The Siberian Husky is naturally a very strong breed, and husky allergies are very likely to occur only to those owners who have chosen a puppy or a dog from the wrong breed. All Siberian Huskies fall under the larger category of canines, and like other small breeds, they are prone to hip and knee problems.

The hip problem is less likely to occur in females than in males, but both male and female huskies can suffer from problems with their knees and hips. The hips are the large part of the body, and it is here where the hip joint connects to the lower part of the thigh bone (the tibia).

Your best bet to diagnose husky allergies is by asking your vet about your pet’s previous history, and about the nature of any recent changes in the puppy’s habits.

A change in the routine of feeding, or in the amount of food that is given to the puppy can often be indications of a food allergen that your vet may not be able to identify. It may be that the food that was causing the allergic reaction had been off-limits for the previous six months.

However, in cases where the allergic reaction has been continuous over many months or years, and especially if the dog is being fed very small amounts, it may be more difficult to determine the source of the allergy. If you suspect that a food allergen is responsible for your husky’s allergic reaction, your vet can run a series of tests to confirm the diagnosis.

The first treatment option for a husky allergy is homeopathic treatment.

Your vet will be able to give you the best course of action when it comes to homeopathic treatment. The most common homeopathic remedies for pet skin allergies are hyoscyamus, are iod, and staphisagria.

To be effective, these remedies must be used on an extremely limited basis – for example, one or two weeks at most. If your dog is experiencing a severe case of skin allergies, your vet may advise that your pet undergo an immunotherapy treatment – which involves boosting the immune system through the administration of potent doses of various proteins, usually protein-based such as an complain.

Another way that your veterinarian can help in treating husky allergies is by identifying the factors that are triggering the allergic response. An example of this could be a previous exposure to a specific allergen. If you know what the allergen was, you can make a more informed decision regarding whether or not to subject your pet to an additional bout with the offending allergen.

Sometimes the best way to avoid husky allergies is to simply avoid the allergen altogether.

Unfortunately, many dogs will develop some type of allergy to an allergen, even if they are not allergic to the substance in question directly.

If you want to keep your pet free of husky allergies, you need to make sure you remove any potential allergens from its environment. Common allergens include dust, pollen, mold, house dust, cat dander, smoke, and pollen. If your pet spends a lot of time outdoors, or you have an enclosed environment, you should make sure that the roof is kept clean of all possible irritants and allergens.

Many pet owners have no idea that their pet has developed a sensitivity to kibble, especially the canned variety.

Although most dogs love to eat kibble, they do have a very strong aversion to the taste. A Husky only prefers canned dog food. Therefore, you should take the time to purchase a good quality kibble that is specifically manufactured for your Husky and other breeds of dogs.

Another thing that you can do to reduce the severity of your Husky’s allergies is to make sure that you provide it with the right diet. Often, overweight or underweight dogs develop allergies to certain ingredients in their food. For example, fatty acids found in some types of fish, or eggs, may trigger an allergic reaction in Huskies. Also, certain wheat proteins, and certain types of rice, can cause allergies in Huskies if they are not cooked properly.
