It’s easy to recognize an animal suffering from allergies by his symptoms. He scratches, chews, licks himself or drags his butt on the ground. His skin shows redness, inflammation and scabs. You may notice abnormal hair loss as well as dandruff. All this may be accompanied by coughing, sneezing, runny eyes, or digestive problems such as diarrhea or vomiting.
