Answer:

"Are You Allergic To Dander? It isn't the dog hair that causes allergies - it's the dander! Dogs continually shed dander, or dead skin flakes, from their bodies. When this dander is airborne you can inhale it and it may cause an allergic reaction (itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing or wheezing). If you have allergies to dander, and still want a pet dog, then you should consider one of the low shedding dog breeds because they produce less dander. Some of these breeds include the Poodle, Maltese, Bichon Frise, Bedlington Terrier and Chinese Crested just to name a few. Choose a breed which is rated ""Low"" for shedding if you have allergies. To be on the safe side, check the breed you are thinking of owning doesn't cause you to have an allergic reaction by spending several hours around a dog of that breed before you purchase one!"

Answer:

I had a Lab mix who needed to be put on Aminophylline for his breathing problems. It caused some vomiting, so the vet reduced the dosage and the side effect went away.

Answer:

Sometimes Aminophylline causes some amount of nausea .The only way to control it was to give some food at frequent intervals and make the dog drink lots of water. It helped to a great extent.
