Allergic Reaction
An allergic reaction in pets occurs when the immune system overreacts to insect stings, bites, or other allergens. Reactions range from mild hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Key Facts
- Insect stings and spider bites are common triggers
- Symptoms range from mild hives and swelling to difficulty breathing and collapse
- Brachycephalic breeds are at higher risk because facial swelling can damage eyes
- Baking soda paste can help neutralize acidic venom at the sting site
- Cool compresses applied 3-4 times daily for 3-4 days help reduce swelling
- Stingers should be removed as quickly as possible; speed matters more than technique
- Severe reactions require emergency veterinary treatment
- Species: dogs and cats
