Cat allergic

My poor Nor has had allergies since he came to us! He does this "marathon sneezing" which at first scared me into thinking he was going to stop breathing! He goes: "sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, SNEEZE!!! and then gulps some air and he's right as rain. The vet says he's allergic to pollen and powdery substances. So we halted using carpet powder anymore (which was half the culprit) and clumping litter that has too much residue (i.e. Arm & Hammer, cheaper generic or store brands)and use the sprays and Scoop Away or Tide-y-Cat clumping litter. We cant do anything about pollen, so I have eye drops for him when that hits. I've never had a cat with allergies in over 40 years of owning them. Thought I was the only one!

Well I have found out that my little Dog has an Allergie and it is a bad one to. He is Allergic to Fleas. Now this is the first time I have eveer heard this. I always treat him specially now, as it drives him mad. When I got him from the Kennels 2 Years ago he was ridden with Fleas, his fur was dropping out, he was coughing and his Skin was very sore.

We have one cat that is sneezy lately. They don't blow their nose and such, so we thought that sneezing would be the nose clearing thing. Not sure how you find out an animal is allergic. Seems odd. I would check the diet and your cleaning products. You never know what causes problems until you use and remove and note the difference. Good luck with this one.

I have a simease cat that has allergies and athma. The vet would give her steroid shots as she would not take pills. The steroids ran her sugar up so then We had to give her insulin injections. It was a terrible time for her. She is doing better now and we dont give her injections but we have to keep an ey on her.

got one with horrible flea allergies - he breaks out and his fur falls and he has occasionally wounded himself pretty badly scratching - its worse than hot spots. one that had seasonal allergies (he's crossed over now) but he was always upset with us for having to clean his nose for him. he'd wrinkle his face up so much you'd think he was having a spike stuck up his nose as opposed to just having a bit of 'ick' removed from it.

One of the cats that my parents had, Saber, had seasonal allergies. He would lose his voice in the spring. It was so sad, but kind of funny, as he would go around trying to meow, opening his mouth and nothing would come out. Poor kitty. It would last a few weeks in the spring, while whatever it was he was allergic too was blooming and then he would be fine. Also, my current kitty, Ashley is allergic to something I believe. She gets congested and sneezes a bit for a few days and then she is better. I live in the city so it could be smog or road dust as we live next to the freeway or the tree outside our window that I am allergic to as well. Anyways, cats can have allergies just like humans. I feel sorry for your poor kitty, sounds like his allergies are as bad as mine. If it is the bunny, you might consider giving it away?

Emerald, Charlie came into my life 5 years ago on January 1 as a gift from the Goddess. He came into my totally fenced in yard and climbed up my leg when I was at one of my most depressed moments. We lived in that house for about a year and a half and never had any problems with him. Then we moved.... We moved in March and around June we noticed scabby things (alright they weren't scabby until I picked at the little bumpy things that turned into the scabby things after I picked at them) at the base of his tail and under his chin. Our first thought was it must be fleas. Even though he has never been outside the house since he has been with us, our dog does go out to make pee pee and poo and we can always carry them in on pant legs and shoes. We got the good flea medication but it did no good; and his hair started falling out in huge clumps. I took him to the vet and he has been on steroids ever since. I don't like the idea of him being on this medication but there is no choice for him. He was getting a shot once a month but that was wearing off pretty quickly and we could tell by the changes in his behavior that it was driving him crazy. (not to mention he was eating us out of house and home). The doctor is now giving us pills that are prescribed once daily, but I only give it to him every other day with his wet food and it looks as if it's working so far. Good luck with your blessed four-legged ~Donna

my cat Purr has allergies. It becomes worse when the seasons change. i just give him warm milk, not much solid food. the decongestant will help a lot.

Actually, cats can be allergic to just about anything in their environment, just like people. I had a cat that was allergic to his vaccines: lots of itching and fur falling out. I currently have a cat with asthma; but we haven't been able to track down the trigger yet.

How sure are you that it's allergies? Shortly after I got my cat he got something that resemble a "cold". He sneezed a LOT and junk came out of his nose. He was put on antibiotics and it would clear up, only when he was done with them, it came back. I was finally referred to a specialist (ouch), as they suspected a growth or polyps in his nasal passages. The specialist said he might have a lack of cilia (the hairs in your nose that) that help move things out.... blah, blah. Long story, but they washed out his sinuses or nasal passages and wah-la, he was perfectly fine after that. I'm not sure to this day exactly what it was other than it drained my wallet, but was worth it.

It might not be the rabbit he is allergic to, it could be the shavings that are in the rabbits cage. If you are using pine shavings for your rabbit, try switching to aspen shavings instead, or even those pellets they now have for lining the cages. If you are not able to do this, how about putting your rabbit in a room of it's own, and not letting your cat go into this room. It would be best for the health of your cat. also are you sure that it is an allergy, and not an illness, or a cold? My ten month kitten had an upper respitory infection when i first got him. I had to quarentine him at the animal hospital I work for, for a month, then he had lots of antibiotics and other medications to take a few weeks after I brought him home. He is better now. He does have some food allergies. If I give him food that is not 100% natural, he farts a lot, and/or burps and vomits. I find in a lot of cases with animals who have allergies, they usually end up with skin problems, or vomiting/diahrea, rather than snotty noses.

I honestly don't think there's really much you can do other than shave the cats. I have had terrible cat allergies for years and have noticed them any time I walk into someones house that owns a cat. My eyes get really red and almost seem to swell up. Its terrible

I once had cat who would get irritated everytime i would cook hot chips which would be very often, he (tim tam ) used to scratch his nose constanly and begin to run around my apartment in a crazed state. my solution was to discontinue cooking hot chips. my suggestion to you is to maybe do a full house top to bottom clean and that might cure the problem period or at least for a week or so. suggestion 2. possibly you could clean the bunny.

i have a silver tabby who seems to be allergic to privet hedge.every summer when it blooms,the poor thing will sneeze up to 20 times in a row. i finally had to get a presciption for him from the vet. basically an antihistimine.

i don't have any pets... so no allergies

no I have never heard of that poor cat or snuffy that's a cute name.

if you keep them clean and away from outsiders then you can save from all these diseases.

my neighbours had a cat, she was so naughty, smetimes it look bad but in general nothing if you keep them clean and away from outsiders.
