🚨 Allergic Reactions in Pets: When to Seek Emergency Care 🚨
Just like humans, pets can have allergic reactions to insect bites, foods, medications, vaccines, or environmental allergens. While some reactions are mild, others can be life-threatening and require immediate veterinary attention.
Signs of an Allergic Reaction:
🐾 Mild to Moderate Symptoms:
• Facial swelling (puffy eyes, lips, or muzzle)
• Hives or red, itchy skin
• Excessive scratching or licking
• Sneezing or watery eyes
• Mild swelling at a vaccine or insect bite site
🐾 Severe (Anaphylactic) Reactions – Call Emergency Vet ASAP!
• Difficulty breathing (wheezing, gasping, blue gums)
• Sudden vomiting or diarrhea
• Weakness, collapse, or fainting
• Seizures or extreme disorientation
• Swollen throat or inability to swallow
What to Do if Your Pet Has an Allergic Reaction:
✅ For mild symptoms: Contact your vet for guidance. They may recommend antihistamines or monitoring at home.
🚨 For severe symptoms: Seek emergency veterinary care immediately! Anaphylaxis can be fatal if not treated quickly.
