antihistamine medications cats

I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene . Wear lose comfortable clothes. Wash all your linen and towels etc with a disinfectant solution. Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.

Since you have reactions to so many medications, it may be that you are allergic to certain food colorings or excipients that are used in formulating the medications. My boss, a doctor, cannot use any products (like soft drinks, vitamins, prescribed meds) that contain one of the common dyes, or he is at risk for anaphylatic shock.

you have a pet dander allergy and should consider removing the cats from your environment...

I am in japan, taking refuge 800 miles to the South of tokyo after the earthquake and radiation leak. Eventually we will go back. The problem is that we took the cats on their first air trip ever. Even going to the vets, I recently noticed that Willy is breathing with his mouth open out of fear. Alice is less obviously frightened, though as a high strung cat (both are rescues from the Japan cat Network), she tends to cower in the cage and for a day after arrival.

Hydroxyzine or "Atarax" is a antihistamine, and it seems like thats the first thing that doctors like to try a person out on. It doesnt work that good for Extreme anxiety, but have "heard" that it works alright..."not great" for mild anxiety. Its allot safer then Benzos "Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan" and non addicting. Hiope it works for you.

I'm not sure about the dosage on the other antihistamines, but I like your suggestion about giving the Zyrtec to her everday for now. It's easier figuring out allergy medicine for myself, because the dosages for the antihistamines are the right dosages for humans. But, I definitely don't want to give the wrong dosage to my kitty. So, until I know more info about other antihistamines for cats, I really don't want to give her anything but the Zyrtec.

a simple blood test can tell you how sensitive you are to cats etc. I am not sure what type of antihistamine you took, but there are several others that may control your allergy better, especially if you plan on living in the same home as teh cat you seem to be allergic to .

Hi, You could take some oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications like loratadine or cetrizine and see if it helps with your symptoms.

I am severely allergic to dogs and cats. Asthma, runny nose, etc.; I break out in hives if one licks me. Been like this since childhood, though my symptoms have lessened over the years. I'm now 47. My parents got a dog a few years ago, but over time I have acclimated somewhat and now this particular animal doesn't seem to other me. I do not live with them, so my contact with the dog was sporadic. My wife would like to buy a dog.

s very active. STEROIDS are NOT good for cats. they can lead to many long term problems, even 1 dose can lead to DIABETES in cats. Is the Vet prescribing this for some sort of pain control, for inflammation? There MUST be a a very good reason for wanting a kitty to take this medication. I will send you a link to a website for more info on side effects. keep in touch. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/prednisone.

How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help de-allergize a cat instead of getting rid of the cat? Our 3 1/2 yr old will probably fall to pieces if we end up having to give the cat away because her sister is severely allergic to him. To keep this in persective, I'm allergic to cats also, but manage mine fairly well and have grown out of mine, mostly. There are some products for bathing and for spraying around the house.

Try steam inhalation, saline nasal drops, breathing exercises, and oral antihistamine medications and see if they help. Let us know about what your doctor tells you and keep us posted on how you are doing. Hope this helps. Good luck.

So my 4 year old has moderate asthma...She is severely allergic to cats among other things. What about going on a trip and staying with family who has cats? Is that ok? Also, my mom has a cat and a dog, Can she have sleep overs at my moms? She is taking 2 breathing treatments a day. We don't have any animals in our home but do I have to take it to the extreme?
