article: CAD is common in certain breeds, particularly Golden Retrievers. The telltale sign of skin allergies is itching, which can range from mild to severe. It can be localized to certain parts of your dog’s body, or spread all over. The itching is caused by an exaggerated immune response: mast cells (part of the immune system) become activated and release a substance called histamine that causes your dog’s skin to itch.  If the itching is severe, your dog might eat, sleep, or play less because he feels so miserable. Other than scratching to relieve the itch, your dog will rub, lick, chew and bite different parts of his body (e.g., face, armpits, feet). Skin allergies can sometimes lead to ear infections, so your dog might start shaking his head because his ears feel itchy. This head shaking can lead to the development of a hematoma (large mass of blood) on his ear. Clinical signs of skin allergies usually start appearing when a dog is 6 months to 3 years old. The more your Golden Retriever scratches, the more damaged his skin will become. Most noticeably, his skin will become very red. His skin may also develop hyperpigmentation, and become crusty. In addition, his skin may become dry or oily.  His skin may also start developing scales. The scratching can lead to secondary bacterial or yeast infections on the skin, which would make the skin smell bad. Small red dots, called macules, can form on your dog’s skin because of all of the scratching. Your dog’s skin won’t be the only body part affected by a skin allergy. For example, you may see reddening and hair loss around his eyes and muzzle. You may also notice his ears looking red. His fur will likely have patches of hair loss where he has been scratching. CAD is either seasonal or non-seasonal. If your dog seems to be particularly itchy in the late summer or fall, he may have a seasonal skin allergy due to pollen or other air allergens. If he has year-round itchiness, he probably has developed a skin allergy to something inside your home, like dust mites. Knowing when your dog becomes extra itchy will help your veterinarian diagnose the skin allergy.

Do you lie as a way to make yourself look better? The pressure to compete inundates us from the moment we are able to comprehend what it means. Lying is an easy way to boost your status at work, in your social circle, and even with your loved ones  Maybe you lie as a way to comfort yourself.

If you're not able to be honest with other people, it's going to have a negative effect on your ability to make friends and feel truly part of a community. To  gain back other people's trust.

The only way to gain back someone's trust is to start being honest, and continue being honest until they trust your word again. This could take years, so it's a good idea to start now.
