How can starting a certain food too early cause the baby to have allergies?
I LOVE VEGAS!!! asked:
I don’t understand how started a food too early can cause allergies. I’ve heard not to start any baby on rice cereal until at least 4 months because it can cause the baby to get food allergies, and don’t give peanut butter because it can cause allergies. Aren’t you either allergic to something or not? I don’t understand how feeding a baby rice cereal at 2 or 3 months old can increase their risk of food allergies. Can someone please explain it to me?

How do you treat a cat with allergies?
Amanda P asked:
I have a kitten about 4 months old. She was diagnosed with an upper-respiratory infection and I gave her the required medicines to cure it. She still has a stuffy nose and sneezes. I believe she has allergies. I’ve read you can give benadryl to cats, is that safe? What are some other methods of treatment?

What is the best pet for someone with allergies?
JStrat asked:
I would like a pet I can actually pet. I love dogs and cats, but have found my allergies and asthma act up around them - are there certain breeds I should look for? I’ve tried fish and lizards, but they just aren’t very pet-like, though I enjoy having them around. Are there dogs and cats that are better for people with allergies? Maybe certain short-hair breeds? Or other pets that are great? Thank you for any help!

How do I know if my cat has food allergies?
natureutt78 asked:
My cat has a very bad and neurotic habbit of scratching spots on his body until they become raw and bleeding. Usually it’s behind his neck, or in front of his ear. His is a indoor healthy kitty (no fleas!). My vet thought it was ringworm at first, but our cat tested negative. My vet mentioned that sometimes it’s an indication of food allergies. Does anyone know much about food allergies in cats? He is being fed perscription diet cat food r/d to help him maintain a healthy weight. Any info, including links, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

How to deal with seasonal allergies and hay fever?
Katie asked:
Pollen is everywhere! I can’t escape it, and neither can the millions of people who suffer from seasonal allergies like I do. I’ve always got a stuffy nose, and perpetually itchy/watery/red eyes during the Spring season.

For my fellow allergy sufferers out there, how do you deal with it?
Know of any effective allergy medicines? (Claritin has stopped working for me!)
How can I keep my eyes from getting so irritated?
Thanks in advance,

What can you give your cat if she has allergies?
acidblackrainbow asked:
Is there anything that is okay to give to cats if they have allergies? I am beginning to think that my cat has allergies. She sneezes all the time and her eyes water alot. She also has a terrible cough, but that could just be hair balls maybe. Anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks
Yeah I kinda figured the vet thing, but when you are a college student you can’t really afford a vet. They cost way too much, but thanks for the advice.
