Can a dog have skin allergies in the winter?
My lab has had allergies in spring and fall, but now here in Jan he is itching quite a bit and getting red. He’s never done this in winter before. I always take him in to the vet, or get a refill of his medicine, I can’t remember the name of it. They’ve tried the steroid injections twice, but it didn’t help.
Last fall we were thinking maybe an allergy to his food, but before anyway, he didn’t get allergy symptoms in the winter at all or in the summer at all, just fall and spring. So if it were the food, wouldn’t he have the symptoms all yr around as long as he’s eating that same food? Like I said he never had the symptoms in the winter before, and didn’t think he ever would.
Also, can he just all of a sudden be allergic to something in the house like dust or something else?
Absolutely
