Q: Anaphylactic reactions often get worse after each episode, so it’s important to keep your dog away from whatever caused its first reaction. This might mean preventing your dog from coming into contact with stinging insects by keeping it inside as much as possible, or keeping it away from environmental pollutants and harsh chemicals. If you’re not sure what caused your dog’s first anaphylactic reaction, the best thing to do is to keep it away from whatever environment it was in where it first went into anaphylactic shock. For instance, avoid walking your dog in the park where it first developed anaphylaxis. Talk to your vet to determine if your dog is allergic to something in its dog food and to find out what food you should be feeding it. You may be required to strictly monitor the ingredients and chemicals in your dog’s food in order to prevent future anaphylactic reactions. Your vet may also recommend that it not be given certain oral medications, if these were the cause of its anaphylaxis. Depending on how at-risk your dog is of another anaphylactic reaction, your vet may give you medications to use in the event that your dog goes into shock again. While your dog will still require immediate medical treatment for anaphylaxis, the medications will help minimize the harmful effects of the episode. If your dog is allergic to insect stings, ask your vet if you should carry an EpiPen for your dog. This is a small syringe containing epinephrine that can be used to partially, though not entirely, treat your dog’s allergic reaction.
A: Avoid exposing your dog to allergens. Change your dog’s diet if it went into shock because of a food allergen. Carry emergency medications for your dog if your vet recommends this.

Q: To boot from the USB drive, you will have to set the BIOS to boot from USB first instead of the hard drive. To open the BIOS, reset your computer and hit the displayed key to enter Setup. The key varies by manufacturer, but is usually F2, F10, F12, or Del. Change the 1st Boot Device to your USB drive. Be sure that it is inserted, or you may not be given an option to choose it. Depending on your manufacturer, it may say Removable Device or list your flash drive’s model. If you set the boot order correctly, your Windows 8 installation will load after the manufacturer’s logo disappears.
A:
Open the BIOS. Navigate to the Boot menu in your BIOS. Save changes and reboot.
