FURRY TALE: QUEEN'S STORY

Meet Queen! She is a 4-year-old Pit bull Mix. Queen has struggled with allergies and recently her mom became worried when her fur was falling out and exposing her skin. She also developed a large sore on her tail that was likely from chewing, which can occur with allergies, according to her veterinarian.  

Queen’s mom is in between jobs and just needed some help for her cherished pup to feel better. She applied to Fur Kids Foundation for help with medication needs to get the allergies and sore on Queen’s tail cleared up. We were happy to help get this sweet girl!

Our fur babies, like us, can suffer from allergies. If you think you pup may have allergies are, look for these signs:

• Diarrhea, vomiting, sneezing, chronic ear infections
• Itchy, runny eyes or constant licking
• Itchiness, hives
• Swelling of the face, ears, lips, eyelids or earflaps  
• Red, inflamed skin

​Other conditions can also cause these symptoms, so it is best to make an appointment with your veterinarian to get an accurate diagnosis so your fur baby can feel better. No matter what is happening with your fur kid, at any stage of life, Fur Kids Foundation encourages you to call your veterinarian sooner rather than later.
