Avatar n tn Hi, Calm down and just let your cat know where the food, water and litter are. I assure you that in your cat's own time he/she will begin to feel less fear and come around. I had to take in my daughter's cat into my house with 2 dogs and a cat. Her cat stayed as far away as possible for months, and when we saw her on the stairs and we reached to try to pet her she swiped at us.
Avatar f tn Desensitization, under the supervision of an Allergist, may attenuate the allergy in some cases. And, also, dog allergies may be breed-specific.
362249 tn?1441315018 Sometimes as well -- depending on the house, you can mitigate your allergies if they aren't severe by the places you let your cat be (for instance, not letting the cat sleep in your bed with you, even hough that's a bummer).

Avatar m tn Hello! My cat Molly is seven years old, no clue what breed she is, I got her at a pet shop (I know, a bad idea). I was only eight years old so I just got her because she was pretty! She's a mostly outdoor cat during the day, but she sleeps in my room at night. She has recently developed three bald patches on her back/tail area. At first there was only one, but upon examination I noticed three, and possibly more coming.
279234 tn?1363105249 I think my kids wanted to name the new kitten BOO. She is a Bengal cat. They breed Asian leopards with domesticated cats and the fourth generation is a Bengal. They are similar to dogs. They will fetch and they like the water. They meow like a cat but will also make a "barking" sound. Most people who are allergic to cats aren't allergic to them because there fur is different. I uploaded a picture of our new little girl if anybody wants to see her.
Avatar n tn Or since she is asymptomatic (and the breeding would be a total outcross), can I assume that none of the puppies will have allergies? Please let me know what you think. I would really hate to not breed a truly talented gundog because of her father, but I know that I should do what's best for the breed and avoid producing allergic pups if possible. Thanks!
Avatar m tn t know why that is impacting his life, but it sounds like the cat has anxiety. Usually if the cat has food allergies, they will scratch around their neck, top of their head and possibly around their face. It could also be allergies from something else, such as fleas, flea bites or dust. This is harder to determine and may have to be discovered by a vet. If they feel that is the reason, they can give the cat a shot that will temporarily relieve the itching for about a month.
Avatar n tn Ya, we are trying him on a new food diet, I am hoping this helps. They checked for mites and he didn't have any. Poor baby, looks like he's in so much pain.
Avatar n tn ( If your allergies do get worst and want to keep your pet and antihistamines don't fix it, shots may do it all by them selves. Kinda seems like a lot to get a pet. Personally I think if you have allergies to that pet you probably shouldn't get it. Consider a low allergy breed like hair dogs that won't shed. Also consider a smaller dog with short hair. One further thing to add. You may not be allergic to all dog breeds.
740516 tn?1360942486 1- Cats without a identificable breed or mixed breed = ? ( here they are called SRD,initials for Without Definite Breed in Portuguese) 2- Medical adhesive tape we use for patches and so =? (like Micropore) I'll be back later on when I remember the others...
874521 tn?1424116797 That is good information. At the moment, I only occasionally give Akira Zyrtec to tackle her allergies, but only at the dosage recommended by the vet herself. Therefore, at least I have correct dosing information for this antihistamine. But, I can see what Dr. Becker is talking about here. And, I have used a human pharmacy in the past for my previous cat.
Avatar n tn If you get a puppy to raise with your family it should do just fine with kids or a cat. Make sure and teach it though starting immediatly that the cat is not a chew toy, most pups willl want to play with the cat. The cat might not like the dog at first but give them time. I've seen cats take up to two months to get used to having a dog around, and likewise with the dog learning how not to be rough with the cat. Dogs have been around a very long time and their ancestors lived outside.
Avatar m tn She absolutely adores dogs, but I’m more of a cat person myself. In an effort to compromise, I suggested we should get a different type of pet instead. I was thinking of getting a bearded dragon or maybe even an exotic breed of fish. Any suggestions for alternative pets that are fairly easy to take care of and doesn’t require much space? We’re living in a tiny apartment in the city and want something that can live contentedly in a small enclosure.
Avatar n tn When I went home I played with my cat and the allergies returned. What could have caused this and should I adopt a new cat if I somehow now have cat allergies?
Avatar f tn Just remember some cats differ from others .. and even from one mixed breed to another, so maybe play with the cat/kitten you intend to actually add to your home :) to be certain.
2071193 tn?1332108715 Shes not a special breed or anything just a plain ole cat! Well I brought her home and took her to my room b/c my grankids where here and I didnt want to upset her anymore than she was. Well guess I messed up b/c she wont leave my room except at night when all is quiet. She woudnt eat for a couple of days so I moved her food to my bathroom which is right next door. Then she started eating. I gave her a few more days then I moved her food to the kitchen.
1445633 tn?1284558380 Hi, if I were in your situation I would find the mean cat a new home with no animals. It's not fair to your other animals that were there before she came on the scene to deal with her nastiness and be afraid all the time. Your other animals have seniority and should come first. Their health can suffer from the stress that the new cat is putting them through. That's not fair to them. And, another thing to think about.......what if you have guests over with small kids...
Avatar f tn Any time I list the breed name of my cat (MAINE ****), either the second half of their breed name, or, the entire breed ID is deleted. One company actually chastised me for using the name on a comment I made about lint rollers. I certainly did not make up the name of the breed. Why are you people so freaking ignorant?
905793 tn?1254273122 Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the way my cat started acting. My cat is a 2 year old male, and just three days ago he began twitching alot. No particular area, sometimes its his ears or head, then it might be his back, or tail, etc. He tends to do this the majority of the day when awake.
740516 tn?1360942486 While certain behavioral characteristics are sometimes associated with particular breeds, they really are just generalizations and have nothing to do with categorizing a cat to be a certain breed. That is all based on physical and appearance standards.
Avatar n tn s to test for allergies and what I do in the store I work for is put the family (or single person) in the cat room (so there is less dog dander from the other puppies) and leave them for 30-45 minutes. Play with the dog, sniff and suggle them. Think how you feel at the end of the 30-45 minutes and think honestly if you want to live like that for the next 10-15 years (in case the allergy shots don't work).
874521 tn?1424116797 I, as well as all of the other English Bulldog owners I know have experienced foods containing wheat to be a problem for this breed 90% of the time even though food allergies only account for 10% of dog allergies overall. When mine started to experience these problems, the Vet pointed to wheat being the most likely possible cause in this breed.
Avatar n tn Abscesses, or one abscess that has given him an overall infection under the skin, would be my guess. Get him to the vet, it's possible to wait too long when a cat has an infection.
