Treatments for Animal allergies

Animal allergy is best treated by prevention of exposure to sensitising agents. Where this is not possible, treatment of allergy is dependant upon the type of allergic symptom, the body system affected, and the severity of the reaction. Treatments for animal allergies include:
Allergen avoidance and minimisation of exposure - consider low allergen pets etc
Antihistamines - Useful for allergic rhinitis and some allergy mediated skin conditions. Not helpful in asthma except for mild seasonal asthma where allergy may be a precipitant
Nasal sprays - including topical steroids and antiinflammatories used for allergic rhinitis
Eyedrops - ketorolac, levocabastine, ketotifen, olapatadine, for allergic conjunctivitis
