Rubbing Snout My furbaby has been rubbing his snout alot lately. He will take his front paws and rub it and also rub his snout on the carpet or on the sofa. I also noticed him scratching under his snout. Is this a sign of an allergy? |
It could be. Just be sure the hair around his eyes aren't matted with mucous from the eyes. Don't use plastic dishes, because this can result in contact allergies. Another thing is to be sure there is no food in the hair around his mouth and beard. Does he go outside in the grass? What is his diet? |
Sophie has seasonal allergies and she scratches under her chin and around her nose. My vet recommended taking a damp cloth and wiping her off after being outside. He also told me I could give her Benadryl. The Benadryl has really helped. She hasn't had to have an allergy shot this year. If he continues to itch I would call my vet and see what they tell you. Please ask your vet before giving Benadryl. Each case is different.:) |

My suggestion, then, after all of the other things are out of the way, is to follow Tanya's advice above. I didn't want to just throw something like that out there, but use the process of elimination first.:) |
