Westies Checks For Allergies |
|
Westies can be subject to a variety of allergies caused by contact with the skin and digestion . The allergies can vary greatly all year round and can happen at certain times for your westie. The most common symptom from an allergy is itching. Food allergies can manifest as gastrointestinal problems. When your Westie has an allergic reaction it should be noted that while allergies can not be cured, some can be controlled with appropriate treatment. It is then that we look to our vet for the proper identification. One of the common skin problems is: -Malassezia Dermatitis (Yeast Infection) . This is a condition that is often misdiagnosed by veterinarians unfamiliar with Westie skin diseases. Without proper treatment the condition continues to worsen leading to many Westies unnecessarily being abandoned, surrendered to rescue or euthanized.
In addition to treating the Malassezia, the primary underlying disease must also be found and treated. The skin of Westies with flea or food allergies, atopic dermatitis, an immune deficiency or seborrhea seems particularly prone to allowing an overgrowth of the yeast. It has been found that west highland terriers living in regions with high humidity seem to be susceptible to this westie skin problem.
