WHAT THIS PRODUCT CURES Clemastine is used to treat allergies caused by inhaled pollens and skin allergies. PET SYMPTOMS Allergies are highly common in humans as well as our pets. The itchy, scratching change of the season can cause the body to turn red with bumps or hives. These allergic reactions can be mild or severe enough to require medical attention. An allergy refers to the bodies over reaction to a foreign pathogen. Allergies in pets can be caused by a number of agents such as chemical reactions, reactions to vaccines, allergies to drugs, or allergies to bites from insects. Urticaria, or hives, is a sign of an allergic reaction. A severe reaction may result in the pet being covered with hives, swelling around the face and eyes, or even drooling. The most commonly seen locations for a pet to develop these hives are between the digits, the groin, underneath the limbs, the muzzle, ankles, wrists, and ears. Atopic dermatitis is a term that refers to a condition resulting in inflamed skin. Atopic dermatitis can occur from any external element from air-born allergies such as dust to mold, or grass. A pet which has Atopic dermatitis may also loose hair due to intense itching. Hives or skin irritations may not be visible on long haired pets therefore pet handlers will note physical signs. Physical signs in which a pet may display include continuous scratching, biting or licking at the skin, or rubbing their bodies along the ground. A secondary condition of allergies is an atopy reaction. This is a reaction due to the pet's predisposition or hereditary trait. This form of Atopic Dermatitis requires a long term therapeutic treatment of the allergen in small doses.
