Is it possible to eliminate cat allergies?
Aria asked:
I have been allergic to cats and horses for the past 5 years, or so. I used to own a cat, and I also used to horse back ride regularly. I have always LOVED animals, and this is very heartbreaking to me. I want to pursue my career as a Veterinary Technician, and this is really holding me back. It is also eliminating living opportunities. If anyone knows of how I can at least relieve my allergies enough to work with and around cats, I would really appreciate it. Most of all, I want to know if there are ways to eliminate the allergies.

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?

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!

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.

Can anyone recommend a good medication to take to treat cat allergies?
deemcd1 asked:
I have been allergic to cats all my life. I also have other allergies. Every allergy medication i have tried works for all of my allegies except for the cat allergy. Every weekend i am over my boyfriend’s house and i suffer from the moment i walk in the door. I have been on every prescription allergy pill you can think of. Right now i am on Clartin D and it works great for every other allergy. I wish it worked on the cat allergy!! If someone can recommend something that might help i would appreciate it.
