Cat is allergic to absolutely everything *pic in comments*

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concern about your cat's allergies. It must be tough to see your furry friend uncomfortable! Cats can indeed be allergic to a variety of things, including certain foods, pollen, dust, flea bites, or even cleaning products.



Looking at possible causes, food allergies are common; proteins such as chicken, beef, or fish are usual suspects. Environmental allergens like pollen or dust mites can also cause problems, just as they do in humans. Even flea saliva, if your cat has been bitten, can trigger an allergic reaction.



At home, regular cleaning and dusting might reduce exposure to environmental allergens. Consider using a vacuum with a HEPA filter. Bathing your cat in hypoallergenic or oatmeal-based shampoo may provide some relief, but always consult before trying a new product.



Keep an eye out for persistent itching, hair loss, red or inflamed skin, or changes in behavior, like increased scratching or licking. These could indicate a more serious problem needing immediate attention.



For a more detailed assessment, including a look at the picture you mentioned, it would be best to have a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can help pinpoint the cause of the allergies and offer effective treatment options. Your cat deserves to lead a comfortable, itch-free life!
