Orange County cat owners have no doubt heard about people having allergies to cats, but there is also such a thing as cats having allergies. There are three main categories of allergies for cats. There are flea allergies, environmental allergies, and food allergies.
To determine what if any allergies your kitty may have you will need to take them to the veterinarian for complete testing. They will not only tell you what allergies they have, but also ways to prevent and treat them.
Some symptoms of allergies include sneezing, wheezing, runny eyes, ear infections, vomiting, diarrhea, and sensitive paws. If your cat has asthma then it is possible that allergens could make things worse.
Prevention is always the best medicine, but when treatment is necessary it depends on the severity of the condition. Treatments could include medication, dietary supplements, or special shampoos.
Whatever the case may be, make sure you have all the information so that you can best take care of your cat.
