Re: could it be cat allergy ?

the only way to be sure is to have an allergy test done.

Re: could it be cat allergy ?

spots are an unlikely allergy symptom on their own. Sounds like flea bites. SOmetimes the fleas prefer just one member of the family. What flea treatment are the family using - Dr Martin is useless. They need to be using Advantage or Frontline.

Are they sure he doesn't have chicken pox? That starts with a cold.
