include diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or cetirizine (Zyrtec). However, it’s essential to consult with a veterinarian before administering any medications.
2. Steroids:
In severe cases, veterinarians may prescribe corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and provide relief. Steroids should be used under veterinary guidance due to potential side effects with prolonged use.
3. Topical Treatments:
Topical treatments, such as medicated shampoos or sprays, can offer relief by soothing the skin and addressing secondary infections caused by scratching.
4. Immunotherapy:
Immunotherapy involves desensitizing a dog to specific allergens through regular injections. While a long-term approach, it can be effective in reducing the severity of allergic reactions.
