Flea Allergy, Canine - contd.

Prognosis
A dog with flea allergy dermatitis will always remain allergic to fleas. The severity of this allergy typically worsens as the dog ages. If fleas are eliminated from the dog's environment, the dog will stop suffering the symptoms of flea allergy. If the response is incomplete but flea control has been achieved, the dog should be reevaluated by the veterinarian for concurrent allergies.
