Our female spectacled bear has the same problem. It's allergies and she does respond sometimes to allergy medication. I've been trying to convince the vet for years to give her helminth therapy -- I'm convinced that the absence of internal parasites is the root of the histaminic hypersensitivity. The trouble is choosing a safe, easily eradicated internal parasite.
