He uses antihistamine, has to because he has hayfever and he has even been having a puff of my sons inhaler when he is very wheezy.
I love Pebbles but I told hubby I would give him to someone else if he was that bad, I don't want to see him suffer but he refused.
I feel so bad, what else can I do to help him? I no longer let the kitten in our bedroom and I hoover daily. Would one of those pet hoovers help? any particular antihistamine that might work better? allergy injection?

My Daughter turned out to have an allergy at the age of 6, and now, so....I always keep the cats (I have 4) out of her bedroom, I wash all her bedding at over 60 degrees. She had a brown puffer from the doctors for 6mnths and now she is fine, she uses the brown puffer between Oct and April every year and is fine, unless she gets a scratch. She was tested for this allergy, i had to rehome her guinea pig though, his fur was bad.
I think some cats have different furs, kittens fur can be a prob to begin with, but will settle, keep your kitten extra clean and brushed with a wet wipe a day. It could be the cats spit or urine that is the main prob you see.
