Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that your furry friend is having some issues. Allergic reactions can be pretty common in pets and might look like red, itchy skin, sneezing, runny eyes, or even vomiting and diarrhea. If your pet is showing some of these signs, it could indeed be an allergy to something like pollen, food, or even a bite from a flea or insect.
However, there are other conditions that can mimic allergies, such as skin infections or parasites, which might need more specific treatments. Observing your pet’s behavior and environment can provide helpful clues.
At home, you can try giving your pet a gentle bath with a hypoallergenic pet shampoo to ease skin irritation. Also, keep an eye on any recent changes in their diet or surroundings that might have triggered an allergic reaction.
Watch for signs that might indicate a more serious issue that needs immediate veterinary attention, such as excessive swelling, difficulty breathing, or extreme lethargy. If you notice any of these, it’s important to seek help right away.
Lastly, I advise booking a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. We can help you determine if it's an allergic reaction or something that needs more attention and guide you on the best next steps for your pet’s health. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
