" The number one is airbourne allergies just like people, it's manifested with itching, biting their skin, pulling their hair coat, have recurring skin and ear infections. If the animal has allergies then we do an airbourne allergy test, which is a skin test, almost similar to that in humans. We prick the skin, just like what we do in humans, and we read the reaction. And we read the wheel that is there when you inject the allergen intradermaly. In total there are 58 allergens and that includes trees, grasses, molds, in-door allergens like house dust, house dust mites, feathers. Once an animal has airbourne allergens, it's not curable, we can only control it. Once you visit the dermatologist and it's controlled, you don't have to visit the dermatologist very often. Just for routine care. Sometimes the regular family veterinarian can take care of that."
