Mild allergies may self-resolve once the trigger is removed, but severe signs (whole-body itch, hair loss, red rash, facial swelling, vomiting, breathing trouble) need prompt treatment; with facial swelling and rash already showing, get desensitization therapy to avoid shock or death. Vets use dexamethasone or diphenhydramine injections; at home, oral antihistamines and aloe or glycerin on the swelling.
