Treatment Of Hives
Our 3yr. old Lab breaks out in hives due to an acute allergy…?
Our 3yr. old Lab breaks out in hives due to an acute allergy from something. We had to rush him to the emergency vet last night coz he had tiny bumps on his skin all over his body- head, legs , back, everywhere. The vet said he had an acute allergy to something and gave him a Benadryl shot. No one has been able to tell us why this is happeneng and this is the second time it has occured. One vet suggested that we get his blood tested to see what he is allergic to and that they could give him a shot to cure it. Only problem is, it could cost $700 + thru the course of a year to get him treated that way, and we would have this problem for the rest of his life. We can’t afford to spend that kind of money every year but we want him to stop suffering. Is there any holistic remedy or herbal treatment for him to where he’s not having to take shots or pop pills for the rest of his life just to be himself?
He’s feeling miserable and I hate seeing him suffer like this. Please help.
I don’t have a miracle cure for his condition but you might want to consider changing his food – it could be something that he is ingesting that is causing the problem. Many dogs develop an intolerance to wheat, preservatives and the fillers and byproducts present in countless dog foods.
In the UK there is a company that has developed a hypoallergenic range of dog foods, I am assuming that if you Google the subject, you may find an equivalent in the US.
Here is what the company has to say about why their products differ from the majority of those on the market:
FOOD ALLERGIES IN DOGS
If your dog has loose digestion, dry skin or an itchy coat,
it could well be caused by a food allergy!
You may not realise that an allergic reaction to the food that you’re feeding could be the reason your dog has skin, coat and digestive problems. These allergies are quite common. Some vets believe that as many as 30% of all dogs react badly to ingredients typically found in most dog foods sold in Britain.
The main culprits are beef, wheat, dairy products, egg and soya, so examine the ingredients list on your current dog food pack carefully. Dog food allergies are now such a problem that some brands hide these ingredients on their packs by calling them “meat and animal derivatives” or “derivatives of vegetable origin”.
James Wellbeloved dog foods are hypo-allergenic. Why is that a good idea?
Our dog food carefully avoids all the unhealthy additives and the ingredients that cause most allergies – beef, wheat and dairy products – so your dog can avoid the allergies. That’s why it’s called a hypo-allergenic food and how it calms allergies. By just switching to a hypo-allergenic food you could make a dramatic improvement. Your dog could be fitter, healthier and more contented.
James Wellbeloved foods contain no unhealthy additives.
With James Wellbeloved you’re feeding good, honest, natural food. It’s the pure natural ingredients and the care we take to cook them that makes the food so special.
We’re proud of what our food contains. So we list our ingredients clearly on every pack (see Lamb & Rice Kibble, Turkey & Rice Kibble, Duck & Rice Kibble and Ocean White Fish & Rice Kibble ingredients pages).
What other dog foods contain, but ours does not:
Added colours, flavours or preservatives.
Beef, wheat or dairy products, the ingredients which cause most food allergies.
80% water content (which is found in canned food).
Cheap bulking ingredients or soya protein.
Added sugar.
What our food does contain:
Turkey, turkey gravy, brown and pearl rice, seaweed and linseed, alfalfa and oats (in Turkey & Rice Kibble).
Grass-fed lamb, lamb gravy, brown rice, barley, seaweed and linseed, alfalfa and yucca (in Lamb & Rice Kibble).
Duck, duck gravy, organic oats, seaweed & linseed and alfalfa (in Duck & Rice Kibble).
Ocean white fish, brown & pearl rice, seaweed & linseed, alfalfa and olive oil (in Ocean White Fish & Rice Kibble).
Plus all the vitamins and minerals your dog needs, in all our complete foods.
To prevent hyperactivity in your dog
Many owners who feed James Wellbeloved foods tell us that their dogs’ hyperactivity problems have dramatically reduced since they switched to our food. We believe this is because our foods have moderate fat and protein levels, often significantly lower than those found in high-protein, high-fat American brands. Plus our foods have no added colours, no added flavours and no added preservatives – all of which are believed to contribute to hyperactive behaviour in dogs.
