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.
168348 tn?1379357075 Any thoughts on whether they really are hypoallergenic for those humans with cat allergies?
Avatar n tn From the success I've had with allergy shots and allerpet-c (cat allergy), I would say it is ok. BUT ... remember if you get a dog soon, it took me 8-12 months to get 95% relief from my allergies. This means, you will spend at least that much time with allergy symptoms, on antihistamines (which stoppped working for me) and pretty much miserable. There MAY be certain breeds that are lower allergen, this is only because the dog doesn't shed and thus there is less hair floating around.
740516 tn?1360942486 A good place to search for information is thru a cat fanciers association. I will send you the one for American recognized breeds and perhaps by following th elinks you will find the information you are seeking. my Sami is a cross siamese/persian making him a recognized breed called a himalyan, and yes he can show his siamese genes at times and be VERY talkative.....lol good luck with your search....:) http://www.acfacat.
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 m tn I used to work for the company that makes Fulvecin, which is the drug of choice for ringworm treatment in animals, and I remember very well the incidents that led to the product being re-labeled as unsafe for exotic cat breeds. Of course, this also means that it is unsafe for cats that are mixes of these breeds.
152660 tn?1291755571 My dogs are 3 different breeds and we got 2 of them as adults one was 2 the other 4yrs they all do well with my cat. My cat took his time accepting the does but when we tried to add another cat he refused to accept it.
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).
398059 tn?1447945633 They are great for people with allergies. Some of those breeds are poodles, bichon frise, and maltese. Since they have hair and not fur, they do not have dander, which is what causes pet allergies. Just a thought. I'm an Irish setter girl myself!
Avatar f tn apparently it has to do with its DNA of some sort in the dander not producing a certain element that the other breeds create which most cat allergic people are triggered by. Some even offer money back in two weeks if you are allergic once the pet is placed. You can buy some type of insurance. But after looking into the prices on this type of cat .. it isn't happening here. We'll stick with my hypoallergenic ShihTzu dog which so far, for us, is fine ..
404138 tn?1308941656 I give him Benadryl for his allergies.Smaller breeds are more common than bigger breeds to make these noises.I use to really get worried about it and it still worries me a little,But i know now what he is doing.Sometimes when he is making that noise if i rub him and talk to him he will calm down or stop.
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 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 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 n tn my beagle mix got out of his crate today and ate a large portion of dog and cat food. he is really bloated and tired is there any concern?
Avatar f tn Allergies aren't hereditary but they can come and go. Some people outgrow allergies and others get them when they are older. My little brother had a lot of allergies when he was a kid (including pet dander) and outgrew them, while I didn't have them as a child but became more prone to them as an adult.
Avatar f tn Probably the biggest reason that it seems that white dogs are more afflicted with allergies than other color dogs is because white is oftentimes associated with genetic defects in breeds where white is not considered an accepted color. Too many people today play on the ignorance of others when it comes to breeding and selling dogs. Breeds have colors that are acceptable for a reason, and white is not usually considered an accepted color.
Avatar n tn The excessive rubbing causes the redness and loss of hair. KCS is very common in all brachycephalic breeds (breeds with pushed-in faces) and breeds with bulging eyes. It's also common in Cocker Spaniels. Make an appointment with your vet and have him do a Schirmer Tear Test. The vet will put a small strip of paper with little "hash marks" on it right inside the lower eyelid.
Avatar n tn My cat, Miss Kitty has just died from renal failure. We did not notice any symptoms except weight loss and as she was about 14,, we attributed this to being older. She was still active and eating, until one Friday night when she collapsed. We took her to an excellent vet who gave her aggressive treatment over a period of weeks, including IV fluids, saline,blood supplements, phosphorus blocker, CCRF supplements, KD cat food, and we also gave her Astro Oil.
1806750 tn?1323310042 I need to find out what health problems Bengal Cats are most likely to develop. Like for example, Labrador retriever dogs generally develop hip problems as they age. Does anyone know what illnesses Bengal's may develop and what preventative steps can be taken to keep our cat healthy?
