Treatment: How do I treat my dog's headache?
Description
Treatment - Headaches as a result of allergies can be avoided by seeing that your pet undergoes an allergy test with a veterinarian. The test will reveal everything the dog may be allergic to and allow for the both of you to avoid it.
During a headache episode, there are a few things you can do to keep your pooch calm and not agitate the pain, such as:
1. Create a quiet, cool, dark resting place for your dog to rest
2. Avoid petting, especially on the head
3. Grant your dog distance and ensure a lack of disturbances by keeping other pets or children in the household away
4. Administer proper dosage of aspirin for dogs as per a vet's prescription
5. Gently-applied hot or cold compresses on the neck or back
Recovery - Headaches typically subside in as little as 30 minutes to an hour but can last longer, especially if consistently agitated with noise, light, or loud sounds.
