Sažetak
Allergies are a malfunction of the immune system that causes a reaction to normally harmless substances known as allergens, such as food components, pollen, insects, or medication. Due to the extensive incidence of clinical signs, it is very important to make a correct diagnosis to eliminate the offending allergen from the body, to provide control and long term management to achieve a comfortable life for the animal. In the case of highly intensive pruritus, drugs such as glucocorticoids, antihistamines and inhibitors of Janus kinase are generally administered. Unfortunately common drugs are not always able to resolve the problem. This case report describes the use of alternative treatments, including veterinary acupuncture, diet and phytotherapy that showed a beneficial and curative effect in a case of allergies.
