Recently, it is the season of willow fluttering, and I think everyone is deeply disturbed by it. As an allergic rhinitis sufferer, every day at work is a torment, allergies seem to be a small disease, but the attack can really be fatal.

However, I am going to talk about cat allergies today. Don’t look at it the wrong way, this time it is not about human allergies to cat hair, but an immune disease in cats. It is easy to ignore, but it is serious enough to affect the lives of cats.

Causes and symptoms of allergies in cats

Allergy is a foreign substance that enters the body and is judged to be harmful by the body, so the immune system in the body reacts immediately. There are many different causes of allergies in cats, like food allergies, drug allergies, skin allergies, etc.

a. Food allergy

Food allergy means that certain ingredients in food cause allergies in cats. If the pooper scooper suddenly changes the food for the cat or gives the cat some food that it has never eaten before, it may make the cat have an allergic reaction. Foods that may cause allergies in cats areGrains, chemical additives, preservatives, etc.. Some cats are also allergic to human food, so this is one of the reasons why I do not recommend that pooper scoopers feed their cats human food.

When cats develop food allergies, the symptoms are mainlyvomiting, diarrhea or itchy skin, etc.And where hair loss is also more common.

b.Drug allergy

While drug allergy refers to the drug treatment for cats, when given a normal amount of drug, cats have an allergic reaction, so before we humans use some drugs, doctors will require skin testing, which is also to prevent us from having an allergic reaction. The drugs that tend to cause allergic reactions in cats arePenicillin, Kanamycin, Tetracycline, Hemostatin, Calcium Vitex, Iodine Glycerin, etc.When a cat has a drug allergy, the pooper scooper can clearly feel that the cat is not in the right state and they will showWeakness of the limbs and lack of energyIn severe cases, the heartbeat may weaken or even go into shock.

c. Skin allergy

The skin allergy mainly refers to the cat’s allergic reaction after being bitten by ticks and fleas. When a cat has a skin allergy, it will appearExtensive skin redness and eczema, the cat will keep scratching its body, which leads to extensive hair loss.In addition to the 3 allergies described above, cats may also be allergic to some plastic products, chemicals and other things, so it’s really hard to have an allergic body!
