Dog owners may not realize that their dogs can have seasonal allergies. Many holistic veterinarians refer to quercetin as nature's own Benadryl. It is a safe, natural alternative to Apoquel. Quercetin suppresses the histamine reaction and blocks inflammatory enzymes to reduce swelling and itching.
Beside this, what are the side effects of quercetin?
Common side effects of quercetin include:
- Headache (oral use)
- Numbness and tingling (oral use)
- Shortness of breath (intravenous use)
- Nausea and vomiting (intravenous use)
- Kidney damage (intravenous use greater than 945 mg/m2)
Likewise, what can I give my dog to relieve itching?
Simply combine a mixture of 50 percent apple cider vinegar and 50 percent water in a clean spray bottle, then spray your dog's itchy spots with the solution. If your dog's paws are irritated, you can use the mixture for a nice, relaxing paw soak for up to five minutes.
A: For small dogs less than 10 lbs you may find regular strength human fish oil capsules work well as these tend to have just under 200 mg EPA per dose. Liquid is good if your dog won't eat capsules. Some dogs will eat the human fish oil liquid despite the lemony flavor.
