Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Celia: Can I give a German Shepherd human allergy pills?
My bosses German Shepherd must have developed some new allergies due to some treats we were giving her that had wheat in them and now she just licks her paws none stop. She has nothing wrong with them, nothings stuck or anything like that. I got an answer from someone stating that it must be in her diet and could possibly be the wheat ingredient. Can I give her any allergy pills to have her stop I just think she must be irritable and that’s why she licks? Kinda like with itchy eyes we scratch or runny tickly noses we scratch.

No. You never want to give an animal any kind of medince a human would take. It could make the animal ill or kill it. There are allergy medicines for animals, you just need to go see the vet to find out what they are.

The new puppies started weaning a week ago. I got them the ‘Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover’s Soul’. It’s one of the best, non-garbage, foods that I can afford on a regular basis.
All has been well except one thing. About three days ago (four days after beginning weaning) one of the puppies has started throwing up the milk every time she feeds from her mother. I watched him like a hawk, and I’ve been keeping regular weight-watching. He eats his food just fine. He drinks his water just fine.
He’s not puking up his food at all not even after he feeds. It’s pure milk that comes out.
I’m wondering if it’s some kind of strange developed allergy he’s got or if that’s even possible in a canine. Should I just go ahead and try to stop him from feeding on her since he’s eating and not throwing up food or water? If I do stop letting him feed on her what sort of supplement, if any, should I give him? He’s playing and vibrant as the rest so it looks like his nutritional needs are being met. He’s probably absorbing at least a tiny bit of milk before throwing up the rest. Maybe it’s just that this particular puppy doesn’t need the extra vitamins so it’s rejecting it (like I do when I take too much iron).
Genetics won’t help me here as these are mutt puppies from my rescue that came pregnant. The previous ‘owner’ didn’t know she was pregnant when we rescued her, and couldn’t begin to fathom what sort of dog is the father. I know I’ll end up calling the vet tomorrow to make sure, but it’s late and I can’t sleep so if I can get feedback, why not try, eh?
