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 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.
203342 tn?1328737207 The reason I'm asking this is my allergies have been just wild the last few weeks, and it seems to be when I'm in the house. I'm sneezing, congested, itchy, etc., When I'm out I don't notice it as much but as soon as I'm back home it seems to come right on me. So, there's something in the house, something new I'm assuming, that I'm reacting to. The only thing new I can think of is my son's new cat he brought back home with him.

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.
440120 tn?1211724496 I've recently been to an allergist because of newly acquired allergies. I'm 43. I developed an allergy to cats in my 20s after having cats since I was a child. I got a new kitten and found that her saliva gave me hives. Since then I've always had a mild cat allergy. I was tested and found allergic to cats and dogs and a mild reaction to milk. Everything else was negative.
1578792 tn?1310889878 They thought if she stopped and hair started growing back that it could be from food allergies; however, it has become worse, especially after introducing 2 new kittens into the environment. Could this be stress?
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.
8778737 tn?1413827423 Anyone else develop new allergies? I just found out last year, I'm highly allergic to wheat products. And now, since the pregnancy... I've grown a reaction to my cat.. Or any animal... :( Anyone else?
7639611 tn?1392877261 Only a skin test (that tests for cat allergy) will rule out for sure whether it is cat allergy or not. If it is cat allergy, then if you do not take anti-allergic pills, the symptoms will resurface time and again. You can again start the medications (after consulting a doctor) to see if your symptoms subside. Also, you could live away from the cat for a day or two and see if your symptoms improve. However, it would be best to consult a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar m tn IMO Krill Oil is the best to address inhaled allergies....are there carpets in your home? any new scents that you have recently began using since your move? new chemicals...even candles or hairsprays.....new furniture? new detergent? new household cleaners? (I use only vinegar to clean)...anything that gives off a scent can be an allergen. plus all the fire retardant chemicals in furniture or carpets even clothing....
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).
541150 tn?1306033843 Well as some of you know my cat Abby is extremely attached to me and sleeps with us in the bed. Abby cannot stand to be away from me and we know why. We have been through a lot with him so he is very needy and co-dependent. He is definitely not your typical cat but he is justified and I love him very much no matter what :-) When my baby is born he will sleep in the room with us. Can the baby be affected by cat hair? How do I know if my baby has developed allergies from my cat's saliva?
Avatar n tn I hate to say this, but the best thing is to find the kitten a new home and adopt another pet. But first, make sure the problem is the pussycat. Perhaps the cat could be boared away for a while and you could see if the symptoms subside? It may be general asthma developing from other reasons. If it is the cat the answer is not to take medications. The inflamation can be life-threatening and is nothing to fool with.
Avatar f tn Allergies have a genetic basis but not always to the same allergen. Two parents with allergies (50% chance of developing allergies), one parent 30%. It is possible that it is an allergy, however make sure the cat wasn't bathed with anything, I reacted with hives once to the shampoo I used on a puppy at work.
Avatar n tn My cat keeps sneezing and sometimes has watery eyes. It started today and. I googled it and apparentley he's got upper respiratory infection. Are there any home remedies or ways I can help him without taking him to the vet?
Avatar m tn Im allergic to cats and my sister brought her cat home but its been here for a month and its only being happening a few days and sometimes when im not at my house. Anyone know what's wrong?
Avatar m tn I have a cat that when his allergies act up he gets that way. I just had to get him a shot ,kinda like benadryl for cats and he snaps out of that. Hope your cat gets better...
Avatar f tn Don't get rid of them! D: I have some good reasons lol 1) Cats don't get spiteful emotions like a sibling might. They might act like attention ****** lol but they won't hurt your baby out of spite. :) 2) It's proven that babies whose mothers were around cats or dogs during pregnancy will have fewer allergies. You can't guarantee your baby won't have animal allergies, but they are less likely to have asthma and seasonal allergies.
Avatar n tn I have had cat allergies all my life which is a REAL bummer because I'm an animal lover and love kitties! My main symptoms? Itchy eyes. I get one cat hair near me and my eyes turn red, swell, start watering and then itch horribly. This is a common allergic reaction to cats. If it is a new cough, I'd say it's likely a virus and coughs linger with that. Once the air way is irritated, the cough will stay for a bit. But all allergies I suffer and my son involve itchiness.
Avatar n tn Hi Kiki, My cat was just dx'd with herpes in her eyes. For years, we too, thought it was allergies, but no. According to my vet, herpes is very common in cats. The way I figured out what was possibly going on with my cat was to google "feline herpes conjunctivitis." Some sites will give you pictures to look at and compare as well as descriptions. Discharge from the eyes have many possible dx's, but a simple blood test will confirm whether your kitty has herpes or not.
Avatar f tn Have you ever thought of finding a new home for this cat? Maybe post an ad on craigslist?
Avatar f tn A cat that was injured before or hurt in any way often pull there hair out. Pain causes them to pull out the hair in places where there in pain or either itching from healing.
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.
