When I went to my doctors all they kept telling was to get rid of my pets as I am allergic to both cats & dogs, it does annoy me that they dont try to help with the symptoms and dont seem to understand the emotional attachment we have to our pets! I hope you find a solution

Have you tried a solution called 'Petal Cleanse'? I anticipated problems with my OH when we got our cat, and started using this- his reaction to the cat has now gone! It's quite easy- groom the cat, put some of the solution on a cloth/flannel and wipe it over the cats coat, then wipe with a dry flannel to remove the excess! I think its about £10 a bottle, but we've had ours 3 months now and there's still plenty left.
BTW it says its completely safe for cats, even if they lick it off. You can also buy sprays for furniture etc which I used when a friend with a cat allergy visited- he seemed OK too.

Could it be dander?

Its often the proteins in the skin that people are allergic too. Dander is the small particles of skin found in the animals fur.

Thank you.

Do you have to groom and add that lotion daily?

Just once a week!

A link here too Pet Allergy? Petal Cleanse can help with the symptoms such as Asthma, Eczema, Hives and Sneezing

Thanks, I shall be ordering some.

I just feel so bad, I really can't let him carry on like this. He is wheezing and coughing constantly I just can't imagine letting Pebbles go though, I am so attached to him now

Isn't there an injection that can be given to allergy sufferers?

i once found sumat on google for a mate o fmine who resuced a lil dog , to only find out she was alergic to him ... giving him up was not an option .. i found a spray that could be sprayed on his coat .. not sure if this can go on cats (cos they lick and groom themselves but ill try and dig out the info for you )
