It sounds like your cat may be experiencing some allergic reactions, especially considering the sneezing after activity. Allergy injections, also known as immunotherapy, can be a safe and effective way to help reduce these symptoms if allergies are indeed the cause.
- Allergy injections can be a long-term solution for cats with allergies.
- It's important to identify the triggers before proceeding with treatment.
- Consulting with a vet can guide you through the most suitable treatment options.
Allergy injections work by gradually desensitizing your cat's immune system to specific allergens. Before starting such treatment, it's essential to confirm that allergies are causing your cat's symptoms. A licensed veterinarian can perform tests to identify the allergens affecting your cat. In some cases, other treatments like antihistamines or changes in the environment might also be effective.
