Well, it's official...Chester is allergic to ragweed and other seasonal pollens just like his Mommy! The vet said to give him Benadryl and it is helping him just fine. Hide the tablet in some peanut butter and he has no clue the tablet is in there. Personally, I get allergy shots (and have been since high school) and I take Zyrtec and/or Allergra to help me.
But on to the main point of my post...what symptoms do you allergic dogs have? Chester has exibited the following:
I just wanted to post here to make sure that Chester is not having any symptons out of the ordinary. Oh, I also need to point out that we live in Richmond, VA which is one of THE worst allergy locations in the US. If you need irritating pollen, come see me. I have all that you could ever want or need. I will even ship some ragweed to you if you ask real nice...
Thanks in advance for your input!
P.S. I've also posted this on the Cavalier Connection Forum so please excuse my X-posting.

- - extra opaque gook in the eyes which is greenish/yellowish, BUT his eyeballs are normal looking and not red.
- extra shaking of the head--I guess it's due to the gook in the eyes and the general stuffiness in the sinuses
- more frequent rubbing of the face on the carpet to remove the eye gook and wipe the nose
- runny nose
- louder snoring (oi vey!)
