rec.pets.cats.health+behav roups.com: I see that this is spam but since you had some good info that also pertains to cats, I have to weigh in on my experience with an allergic cat. Minus your web site link. The Atopic Dermatitis is an inflammatory Skin disease in dogs, constitutional , in where genetically there are alterations in the immune answer and in where allergic factors and some non-allergic can act like leading. I don't know what you mean here. It is a disease that appears predominantly in the first month of dog's life approximately 6 month to 3 years of age and it is uncommon to develop AD for the first time once they are 7 years of age or older. It can also be associated to familiar history and other allergic conditions of your dog. It is estimated that 10% to 15% of dogs are affected by Atopic Dermatitis , Therefore, clearly, Atopic Dermatitis is a common disease in DOGS And cats. The disease can appear in generalized form or located in sides of friction. Did you put this through a translator program? The most typical symptoms is Itching or "Itching Condition" to which the dog reacts with scratching, face rubbing, foot licking etc. This result in self-trauma and further skin lesions as: Papules, vesicles bled ding scabs The Itching Condition increases with exhibitions to high heat, perspiration, psychological trauma or stress and skin infections I don't think dogs or cats sweat. The rest is right. Leading or aggravating factors Allergic: 1. - Foods: Milk from cow,, Egg white, citric Ingredients , tomato, seafood, fish, nuts, Artificial Colorants, specially Tartrazine or yellow # 5 Never knew that about Tartrazine or yellow # 5. Thanks. You need to add wheat products to that list, and in some cases, corn. 2. - Inhalants: Dusts, or House dust, cosmetics, Acarus, Molds, Pollens, Wools etc. 3. From Contact: Perfumes, Drugs, Wool etc Non-Allergic Climatic Factors, Low Humidity, Excessive Heat, Extreme Cold end. Irritating Primary Soaps or Shampoo, Perfumes, Rough fabrics Wools and Nylon. Lets not forget cleaning agents, animal dander, scented candles, human dander. Basic Therapy: Corticoids, Long term, it's possible that steroids won't work anymore. Reached that point with mine with steroids as the only treatment. Essential Fatty Acid are now used in skin conditions and will help about 25% of Allergic Dogs significantly. Didn't help my cat at all. Tried for at least 1/2 year with daily doses. Use or smooth acid oats soaps or Shampoos with Acid PH This was tried and seemed to be soothing, but my cat didn't mind baths. YMMV. Antibacterial shampoos or soaps Didn't try. Did try shampoo with hydrocortisone with some good luck, but only very short term. Emollients or Conditioners Never tried. Antihistamine Oral Sedatives Tried with combination of antihistamines/EFA. No results. -- Cheryl |
