An allergy occurs when our immune system reacts to foreign substances called allergens. When the body tries to get rid of these substances, it triggers a variety of symptoms, such as itching, rashes, watery eyes, or upset stomach. We all know that allergens affect humans, but did you know that your pet can develop allergies? The symptoms can be very concerning for pet owners, resulting in many cherished felines and canines being rushed to see the vet at an emergency animal hospital in Jacksonville.
