1232362 tn?1333135406 I have had bad cat allergies to cat hair- it's probably not a good idea to have cats if you have asthma or other lung diseases
3170462 tn?1344717552 t mean to sound obtuse, but a specialist of what? Cats? Allergies? Cat allergies? Do these specialists have a title or a specific field of study that I can begin searching for one by?
1565420 tn?1304572548 That is seven years in humans and a lot can change in 7 years. Please take your cat back to the vet and have blood work including thyroid testing, and a urinalysis. If your cat is dehydrated and is only eating dry food please allow your vet to give subcutaneous fluid therapy and eliminate dry kibble and feed wet only. If your cat is constipated, wet food will help to hydrate the bowel. Your vet can give appropriate treatment once definitive diagnosis is made.
Avatar m tn In 2002 my son was gouged by a very sick stray cat. The cat was lethargic, had a fever, nasal and eye discharge. I asked my son to pick the cat up as we were taking it to the vet. It was literally dying in our yard. The cat was about 6-months old. My son has been incredibly sick ever since. Are these symptoms too vague to suggest what this cat could have been suffering from and possibly transmitted to my son? We live in Southern Alberta...prairie-like area west of the Canadian Rockies.
5347058 tn?1381188426 sensitive commonly to a preservative or ingredient in dry kibble type food. grain allergies are common in cats and most cat foods are full of unnecessary grains just b/c they are 'cheap' fillers for the manufacturer, they do absolutely nothing for the diet!!! there are some 'grain free' diets on the market that may be a worth a trial. EVO, Wellness and Natures Variety are a few. cats can also suffer from environmental allergies....such as what you decide with your kitty.....
Avatar f tn These include rabies, plague, ringworm, internal and external parasites, toxoplasmosis, bartonellosis (formerly known as cat scratch fever), allergies to cat hair, and secondary bacterial infections from cat scratches and bites. (refer: http://www.afpmb.org/pubs/tims/tim37.htm#purpose) Please let me know what your doctors think about meningitis and please keep me posted. Let me know if there is anything else.
Avatar n tn Sudden onset or temporary clear discharge from the eyes can be caused by injury (although this is unlikely if the discharge is from both eyes), allergic reaction or an upper respiratory tract infection - just like when humans get watery eyes when suffering from a cold. If your cat has a respiratory infection he is likely to also develop a wet nose.
168348 tn?1379357075 Any thoughts on whether they really are hypoallergenic for those humans with cat allergies?
Avatar n tn I have a 12 year old male neutered cat. I noticed this morning he was spotting a little blood from his rectum. What would cause this?
Avatar f tn hi so sorry for poor kitties problems, its not likely allergies, unlike us humans an allergy for a cat shows up as a problem with their skin.(as far as I am aware).. but the eye discharge sounds like something that does need to be investigated by a Vet...what exactly was he diagnosed with the first time he was seen?...In my opinion its more of a further health condition and not likely an infection because it is chronic.
611067 tn?1458591483 My cat does the same thing. I've had her looked at and they kept saying it was probably allergies. She also gets a weepy eye from time to time and I have to get an ointment to put in her eye. This last time we decided to try antibiotics in case it was some sort of viral bacteria or something. I've heard herpes in cats can cause these type symptoms too. You might want to get that checked out. Otherwise, it's probably just allergies.
Avatar f tn can humans develope asthma from severe reaction to many flea bites. my cat developed asthma from them.
Avatar m tn My cat has a hole in his leg, I cleaned it up but was told he might need a antibiotic. My doctor gave me azithromycin 5 daily dose. I was wondering if I can use it on my cat? I can't take him to a vet, so I'm trying to handle this at home.
Avatar f tn I looked up the cat community - best to go there I believe. http://www.medhelp.
Avatar m tn I do not know for sure if the Elderberry/Flowers are safe for cats to consume, but I honestly think once cooked it could be mixed in after cooked/dried with wet cat food to help with allergies, runny nose/goopy eye/cough/sneeze; Cold/Flue viruses.
647911 tn?1373314647 Our cat who is turning 12 yrs old has caught sometype of cold, he has been sneezing with a runny nose, for the last 4 days, well the other nite is eye was really sealed shut, and looked infected the next morning it looked like it has cleared up and he seems more active and comes to watch T.V.
681148 tn?1437661591 It seems like Akira has seasonal allergies and dust allergies in addition to her food allergies. Because I really don't want to give her long term steroids, I decided to only give her the 1/4 tablet of Zyrtec that the vet told me to give her before. I try to wait 'til I just have to give it to her, because I know that people can build up a tolerance to antihistamines, so I figure that animals can, too.
Avatar n tn My cat has been sneezing and having nasal discharge for a month now. She has no other symptoms. She plays,she eats well. Just sneezes and has nasal drainage. Her eyes are good. No swollen or runny eyes. Is this allergies? I noticed she usually only sneezes when her nose touches objects or she sniffs. Sometimes mucous comes out with the sneeze.
1232362 tn?1333135406 I was hoping you would come along and answer - thanks FM. Don't you also give Akira a little Zyrtec?
Avatar m tn A few months later, the other cat also started having asthma problems, and also got started on steroids. Over the summer of 2011, I went to Washington for about 3 weeks to do some field work (I am a structural geology grad. student). When I got back, I was home for about a month before I had to leave for Minnesota to do some analyses on my rock samples. I remember while my wife was driving me to the airport I had a scratchy throat and felt like I was getting a cold.
1206168 tn?1280367231 This question is very hard for me to ask, because i put myself in an awkward position. I have had my cat for many years and have no allergies to her. I have seen a couple doctor's over a month for symptoms of swollen lymph nodes on/off (always present) , numb throat, ringing of the ears, and my brian felt like it was swelling largly at one time. All these symptoms look as if i have a major sinus infection. I have taken amoxicillin, z pak, nasal sprays, and ibuprofen.
681148 tn?1437661591 It could be something in the environment, too, because my own allergies have been driving me crazy big time lately, too--for about as long as Akira has been scratching more than usual. It could be all of the above, too. So, I was told to try the process of elimination by using just the turkey Wellness grain free. It's a lot like an elimination diet that people go through for food sensitivities.
Avatar f tn How do y'all deal with cat allergies?!?!? I've just recently become super allergic to my best friends cat's and I wanna be able to go see her without her cats killing me!!! (or me wanting to kill myself for that matter!) It's really bad, and my eyes, ears, throat, nose and basically whole body have really become anti-cats lately :( What should I do?!?!?! Thanks for the tips and suggestions friends!
Avatar m tn and some red flags for cat allergies are grains in their diet...try a grain free canned diet, dry foods are loaded in grains but also in many chemicals and preservatives as well. by the article and site I am sending you, it reads over licking can also be caused by stress.... If at all possible, eliminate the cone, this only leads to more stress on kitty. Poor kitty is quite miserable right now as it is. Also did you add anything new into your home such as anything with chemicals?
Avatar n tn My 5 year old cat has started licking the fur off his body. He started on his lower belly and I just went away for 3 days and when I came back, he has started licking it off his paws, back and hind legs. I started both he and his brother on a different diet in which I added a small can of wet food in the morning and also gave them 1/2 as much dry food (I change the brand of dry every day.) I am so scared as he seems to be not as healthy anymore.
