My dog is allergic to chicken. Can liver in chews cause a reaction?

Dogs can have allergic reactions to almost anything, but I think it would be fairly rare to have a drug eruption from liver vitamins. Allergic reactions typically cause hives and/or facial swelling, while a drug eruption causes skin lesions that are typically not itchy. It might help to know exactly what is in the vitamins since some medications are more likely than others to cause a reaction. Of course there are many other things that can cause skin lesions to the liver vitamins might not be to blame.

Hi and thanks for posting! If Blue is allergic to beef and chicken, all products associated with these proteins should be avoided which includes beef rawhide. You may want to stick to another non chicken or beef chew or treat such as the product I have listed below. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/blue-ridge-naturals-oven-baked-salmon-jerky-dog-treats

I would avoid it. When dogs have bad food allergies, it's best to only stick with the food that prevents them from having symptoms. Adding in another treat could cause Charli's allergies to flare up and have symptoms again. It's best to keep giving her the hydrolyzed treats. I hope this helps!

No, do not give your dog milk. Dairy is never recommended to give to dogs because it causes GI upset. There are kibble diets that are formulated with proteins that aren't made from chicken, such as rabbit, lamb, duck, and beef. Eukcanuba has a lamb and rice kibble, that may be a good option for your dog. I hope this helps!

Hello. If Pluto is doing well on a lamb based diet, then the lamb treats should be perfect for him. They do make hypoallergenic dog treats, but you may need to get them from your veterinarian. If Pluto has a relapse or breakthrough skin rash, immediately stop the lamb treats & you will most likely just need to stick with his kibble. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Cooked chicken bones are a bit more concerning than raw bones, as they are more likely to splinter as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. Most bones (even cooked ones) can pass without a problem. Keep a close eye on Bonnie's overall energy level and appetite. Lethargy and inappetence can be associated with perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, as can vomiting or diarrhea, particularly if blood is present. WIth Bonnie's chicken allergy, I imagine that she's more likely to experience stomach upset with vomiting and diarrhea that may or may not be associated with the bones in the chicken breast. As Dr. Graben mentioned, she could also experience itchy skin due to her chicken allergy. If you notice any lethargy, loss of appetite, significant vomiting or diarrhea, or any blood in vomit or stool, then be sure to seek veterinary attention immediately. You can offer a bland diet of boiled lean ground beef or turkey, mixed with white rice for the next 5-7 days to try to give the chicken time to pass before mixing in her normal dog food over another 5-7 days. I hope that everything goes well!

In most animals with food allergies hydrolyzed protein sources are ok. However, if it is possible I usually recommend switching to a novel protein source instead of the hydrolyzed diet. This way you can ensure there is no reaction from the food. Additionally I would avoid other poultry proteins as well. Some animals that are allergic to chicken also have reactions to foods with duck as the primary protein.
