Understanding Cat Allergies

Allergies in cats can stem from inhalants, foods, or environmental irritants, often triggering an immune response. Cats typically develop allergies between 1-3 years of age, affecting all breeds.

Types of Allergies in Cats

1. Flea Allergy Dermatitis
2. Food and Drug Allergies:
   Common allergens include beef, dairy, wheat, egg, chicken, lamb, soy, pork, rabbit, and fish.
3. Inhaled Allergies:
   Triggered by grasses, molds, pollens, and dust mites.
4. Contact Allergies
   Caused by direct irritants to the skin.

Potential Causes

Genetics, environment, and early exposure to antibiotics can predispose cats to allergies by disrupting gut health.

Recognizing Allergies in Your Cat

1. Gastrointestinal issues
2. Vomiting
3. Facial swelling
4. Excessive scratching
5. Ear discomfort
6. Sneezing, coughing
7. Swollen eyelids, hair loss

Addressing Cat Food Allergies

Identifying and eliminating problematic foods is key as bad diets can create long term chronic health issues for your cat. Incorporate variety when possible and consider a hypoallergenic diet. Your veterinarian may likely recommend a specific diet for your allergic cat. Typically, these hypoallergenic diets avoid grains and carbohydrates, as well as certain proteins.

Adding probiotics and enzymes can significantly improve digestive health and allergy resistance. Multi-enzymes, such as found in Enzyme Miracle®, can be extra helpful as they help break down ingredients which may otherwise become toxic or undigested in the body.

Managing Inhalant Allergies

1. Skin Care: Address itching and scratching with appropriate skin treatments.
2. Environment: Minimize allergen exposure by keeping sleeping areas clean and wiping down your cat's paws after outdoor activities.
3. Supplements: Essential fatty acids and antioxidants can mitigate allergic reactions by reducing inflammation and free radical damage.

Final Thoughts

Often, allergies in cats are misdiagnosed, and the real problem is simply a poor diet. Natural home remedy treatments including probiotics, vitamins, and making dietary changes can be a wise starting point and might also help your cat avoid unnecessary prescription drugs, allergy medicine or antihistamines. However, it's important to always follow the advice of your veterinarian, as there may be an underlying health issue or diagnosis that needs attention.
