Page 10 August 28, 2014 TORRANCE TRIBUNE Allergic Reations from front page collapse and possible death. Symptoms usually occur within minutes following an insect bite or sting and proceed rapidly. Symptoms usually include sudden onset of vomiting, diarrhea, staggering, rapid drop in blood pressure, swelling of the larynx leading to be transported to a veterinarian immediately. Severe reaction treatments may include I.V. medication, such as epinephrine and fluids, as well as oxygen and other life supporting procedures. There is no way to prevent or predict these allergic reactions, so it is important to have a plan and be prepared. Put your veterinarian’s phone number, as well as the after hours emergency clinic that your veterinarian recommends when they are closed, on your cell phone. Dr. Greg Perrault owns and operates Cats & Dogs Animal Hospital in Long Beach, CA. USC or UCLA from page 6 “Your pet may not develop allergic symptoms right away so it’s a good idea to call your veterinarian and have a plan should things worsen.” airway obstruction, seizures and cardiovascular collapse or death. This reaction is life threatening for your dog. Antibodies that the immune system has made to some portion of the insect venom trigger anaphylaxis and urticaria. It is important to note that in the most severe reactions I’ve seen, the owners never suspected a bug sting or any other allergic reaction. They called our hospital because their dog was vomiting, lethargic or had diarrhea. There is no diagnostic test for anaphylaxis or urticaria. However there is a correlation between a liver enzyme called Alanine Transferase (ALT) and insect envenomation. It seems when this enzyme is elevated after an insect sting, prognosis goes down for the dog and more aggressive treatments are needed. Your veterinarian may want to check this enzyme if an insect sting is suspected. In many anaphylactic reactions the gall bladder and liver will become edematous and swollen and can trigger a chain reaction of organ failure that may be fatal. Treatment in mild cases can include oral diphenhydramine (Benadryl): however, call your veterinarian for proper dosing. Treatment for a moderate reaction involves a trip to the hospital for evaluation and will usually include injections of cortisone and other medicine. Treatment for a severe reaction is critical and your pet should be taken to a hospital as soon as possible. Minutes count. Giving oral antihistamines, like Benadryl, in an acute, severe reaction is usually ineffective and can be dangerous. These animals need to Mora, however, his team still has a long way to go. “Our success right now, in my opinion, is still very limited. We haven’t won the Pac-12 championship. We’re 0-3 against Stanford.” Mora is correct, but a mindset like that and a veteran quarterback at the helm should be the perfect recipe to finally get his team over the hump and into the brand new four-team playoff format that will be instilled into college football for the first time this year. With no NFL team anywhere in sight, it’s always better when you have college football to rely on. Los Angeles is especially abuzz when both of these teams are at their best and this year could just be the year that we see it happen. The two teams don’t meet this year until November 22nd. It would be an even more interesting meeting if both teams are undefeated at that time. In order to see that, however, UCLA must first get past Texas in Arlington, Arizona St. in Tempe, and Oregon at the Rose Bowl. USC will first have to get past Fresno St. once again (like they did in the Las Vegas Bowl) and Stanford the very next week. Can this be the first year in decades that both teams, only 10 miles apart, are elite at the same time? Of course, only time will tell. But come November 22nd, no matter what their respective records are at the time, only one team will reign supreme.
