A RASH RESPONSE... Herald.ie

27.06.09

Last Saturday afternoon, Renji was having a normal day, sniffing around the garden, lounging around the home and generally taking things easy. It was around 2pm that Ansa noticed that something was wrong: his eyes looked puffy. Renji has a long history of allergic reactions, so Ansa has experience of dealing with this type of problem.

She waited for a while to see if the swelling would go down by itself, but over the next few hours, the situation deteriorated. Renji's face and neck became puffy, like a child with mumps, and his skin developed red, blotchy, swollen areas. Ansa called the emergency vet, and Renji was given immediate medication to counteract the allergic reaction.

He recovered from the worst of the signs rapidly, but the rash on his skin has only been improving slowly, and is still present a week later.

dangerous

Allergic reactions like this are very common in pets, and they can be dangerous: if Renji had not been given the emergency drugs, he could have gone on to develop an even more serious allergic response that could have caused breathing difficulties and other complications.
