He started developing lumps on his skin, his eyes were running, and he panted a lot. The vet said it was probably due to old age. I went on vacation a couple of times and noticed that when I picked him up from boarding he looked so much better...no peanut butter...Sadly, it wasn't until he started refusing the peanut butter that I switched to giving him his meds with a little turkey. A week after no peanut butter he looks like a different dog. My advice..just skip peanut butter all together.

You need to determine what is that allergen, that substance which triggers your dog those reactions. I don't know how it goes in dogs, but in humans, repetitive, frequent, exposure to substances that cause them allergies, worsen the symptoms. My recommendation is to find a good vet and take your dog to a check. I've heard that it's possible to test dogs for allergy. Besides, the vet can teach you how to proceed with the elimination diet until you find the cause of your dog's allergy. Steph, I’m sorry to hear that about your dog.

She sort of has asthmatic attacks and wheezes and snorts. I have been giving her benadryl via peanut butter and this has reduced the length of the reaction; however, the attacks have gone from once every few months to approx. 1x/week. I'm now wondering if the peanut butter/benadryl routine to cure the attacks is actually causing them? I've just replaced the PB with regular butter and will see what happens. I'm hoping I've solved the problem. Anyone out there who has experienced this? My dog has been having allergic reactions to something for about 2 years now.
