Allergies can have a wide variety of causes, including flea allergies, food allergies, or allergies to our surrounding environment. If possible, the first step in managing Bam Bam's signs is to determine the underlying allergen. Make sure he is on a high quality flea preventative (Nexgard, Bravecto, or Advantix) once a month year round. Consider if he has been receiving table scraps or has had a recent diet change that may be contributing in cases of food allergies. Otherwise, antihistamines (such as Benadryl) can provide some relief in some pets, but you should always speak with your vet before giving any medication to Bam Bam because they are aware of his previous medical history and any other concurrent medications that are being administered.
