Dogs and cats can also suffer from allergies: Tips to help your furry friends
About five years ago, Gail Friedman noticed her Parson Russell Terrier was constantly licking his paws and seemed super uncomfortable. Also read | Seasonal change affecting your pets? Here's how you can take care of them 'The poor dog. I would put baby socks on his feet so that he wouldn't lick them or bite at them,' said Friedman, of Oak Brook, Illinois. 'I was constantly changing the socks, washing his feet a lot. Nothing worked.' It turned out her canine companion, Mr. Friedman, had allergies. It's a common and tricky problem in pets — caused by various things such as pollen, dust, mold, chemicals and food — but veterinarians say there are several ways to ease their suffering. Allergies happen when the immune system overreacts to a foreign substance. Cats and dogs react to many of the same things people do, as well as pests like fleas. There are no definitive recent statistics on how many pets have allergies, but research suggests the problem is growing. 'I probably see allergic dogs and cats every single day, probably multiple times a day,' said Dr. Karen Woodard, medical director at Thrive Pet Healthcare-Elmhurst in Illinois. About 90% of allergic pets react to environmental triggers, Woodard said, and the rest have food allergies only. Dog breeds that are especially vulnerable include various types of terriers, boxers and bulldogs; in cats, it's Persians, Siamese and Himalayans. Pets can even be allergic to other animals — cats to dogs, dogs to cats and either to another species. 'It's possible for them to be allergic to us, just like we are to them,' said Thrive's Dr. Anthea Elliott Schick of Scottsdale, Arizona, immediate past president of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology. Allergic cats and dogs aren't as likely as humans to sneeze and cough. More often, they scratch and lick themselves, shake their heads and develop ear infections. Woodard said her Yorkie mix, Teddy, had the classic signs — scratching around his shoulders and getting rashes and ear infections starting as a six-month-old puppy. She lived in the South at the time, and he tested positive for allergies to various trees and grasses there. A common sign of allergies in her feline patients is 'overdoing their grooming,' said Woodard, who's on the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association's board of directors. 'Cats shouldn't be pulling their hair out when they groom. So if you start seeing bald patches on your cat, even though the skin underneath it looks normal, that could be a sign of allergies.' Also read | Living with pet cats or dogs lead to fewer food allergies among young adults: Study Even food allergies, often to chicken, beef, lamb or other protein sources, frequently show up on the skin, although pets can have vomiting or diarrhea, too. Rarely, pets can develop life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, perhaps after being stung by an insect. But most allergies are simply miserable for the animals. 'It breaks my heart because it gets to a point that not only do I have socks on poor Mr. Friedman — which is humiliating for him — he sometimes gets so bad he has to wear the cone of shame,' Gail Friedman said. 'And that's not fair because he can't move around right, he can't sleep right. It's terrible.' The first step is to get a diagnosis from the vet. This could involve allergy testing, or in the case of food allergies, an 'elimination diet,' which involves feeding limited ingredients the pet hasn't previously eaten. If the allergy culprit is environmental, there are medications like anti-inflammatory drugs and newer oral and injectable medications for dogs to block chemical signals associated with itchiness. Food allergies may be treated with special diets such as 'hydrolyzed' food, in which proteins are chemically broken down into tiny pieces. All this can get expensive. Friedman estimates she's spent about $10,000 on testing, medication and care for Mr. Friedman and another allergic dog. But vets say there are also ways to help pets at home by cleaning their bedding frequently, wiping their fur with a wet washcloth and giving them baths. Outdoors, 'they're almost acting like little Swiffers, getting allergens on their skin, and it goes through their skin and actually becomes a problem,' Schick said. 'We say bathe your dog, at a minimum, once a week if they're allergic.' After she's tried nearly everything, Friedman's dogs are still vexed by allergies. But they're doing better. 'I'm going to keep experimenting until we find what stops it completely,' she said. 'All you can do is try.'

Heber Valley Temple lawsuit: Judge hears arguments on temple construction
HEBER CITY, Utah () — A hearing for the lawsuit against Wasatch County involving plans for the Heber Valley Temple was held this afternoon. The judge is reviewing the details and information shared today and says she will issue a written ruling in the near future. The lawsuit, filed in November 2023, asked that Wasatch County disallow the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from building the temple on the set land in Heber City due to concerns of light pollution, blocking valley views for homeowners, and increased disturbances. Judge Jennifer A. Mabey is the assigned judge on the case and began the motions for summary judgment hearing Monday afternoon. Attorneys discussed concerns from the residents who filed the lawsuit, the support from members of the community, and the Church's arguments for the development agreement. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: LDS Church files to be added as a defendant to temple lawsuit Robert Mansfield, an attorney for the residents who filed the lawsuit, began by presenting the reason that they filed the lawsuit. Mansfield first explained that the temple, set to be over 80,000 square feet and roughly 210 feet tall, would be built in a residential zone. He argued that 'special privileges' were offered by Wasatch County to the Church when it came to the section of land that was dedicated for the construction of the temple. Changes were made by Wasatch County to the general plan without the proper disclosure and without meeting public comment requirements, according to Mansfield. 'Approval under threats of litigation does not comport with fundamental fairness. Also, the land use actions do not protect property values; there's going to be increased traffic, noise, loss of privacy, loss of views, light pollution in the evenings, and that hurts values,' Mansfield explained. PREVIOUSLY: LDS Church files to be added as a defendant to temple lawsuit He further explained that there is nothing that demonstrates the temple project will protect property value, and that the Wasatch County ordinance amendments violated state law. Mansfield asked that the court grant their motion for summary judgment and deny the motion from the county. Jonathan Woodard, Deputy County Attorney for Wasatch County, explained that under the County Land Use, Development, and Management Act (), Wasatch County was within its rights to make allowances for the construction of the temple. Letters written to Wasatch County by residents were shared with the court. Woodard read off these public comments, which all involved residents expressing their excitement for a temple and explaining that it would end extra travel and support religious freedom. The nearest temple is located in Lindon, Utah, roughly 30 minutes from Heber City, Utah. PREVIOUSLY: Wasatch County hears opinions on LDS Heber Valley Temple Woodard said these considerations went into the ordinance changes that would allow the temple's construction. Under CLUDMA, he argued the temple would improve 'the morals, peace, good order, comfort, convenience, and aesthetics' of the county. David Jordan, an attorney for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, argued that the development agreement did not violate CLUDMA or any state or county codes. He further said that the public comment session held in October 2023 met the requirements for notice of amendments to the county ordinances and plan. Manfield, in response to the arguments shared by Woodard and Jordan, argued that although the county and the Church were within their rights to make this development agreement, they did fail to go through the proper procedures outlined in CLUDMA and Utah State Code before beginning the project. He again asked for the injunction to stop development. Judge Mabey told the court that she was going to take time to review the case and would issue a written ruling on the lawsuit. Weber County School District considering tax increase During the General Conference on October 3, 2021, the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Russell M. Nelson, to the Heber Valley area. One year later, on October 8, 2022, a groundbreaking and site dedication was completed by Nelson. In April of 2023, Wasatch County in an attempt to please both the Church and residents. According to the county, they received letters from residents for and against the regulation changes for the temple's construction. The Church said that these ordinances would be in line with industry standards, and they would adhere to a curfew to maintain dark skies. Months later, on October 26, 2023, to a Wasatch County Council meeting to voice their concerns about the Heber Valley Temple. Residents were concerned about light pollution taking away the dark skies near their homes with the new regulations. Utah lawyer sanctioned for court filing that used ChatGPT and referenced nonexistent court case A group of residents called Save Wasatch Back Dark Skies led the pushback from the community. On November 29, 2023, a lawsuit was filed against Wasatch County by some residents who participated in this group. They asked that the development of the temple be halted by the judge. In January 2024, the Deputy County Attorney for Wasatch County filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, saying that the individuals who filed it did not have enough legal backing to pursue the lawsuit. Days later, , saying that the county would only protect its own interests and not those of the Church. On April 30, the court decided not to dismiss the lawsuit and allowed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . Since this, multiple revisions, arguments, discussions, and reviews of county ordinances and temple construction plans have been filed. On the , the current plan listed for the temple says that it will be 87,626 square feet and 210 feet tall.
