Recently, foreign media reported that some veterinarians pointed out that among the allergens that make humans suffer, many of them may also torture our pets, including pollen. Miliary dermatitis may occur when cats are allergic to the body, which is a small papule or hair loss, usually around the head or neck.
Spring is here, and warm weather and long days are coming. There is also an unpopular phenomenon that occurs at this time: allergies. Spring is also the most suitable season for a different standpoint and to examine allergies from the perspective of pets. So, this time the "Freak Animal Question and Answer" is the question raised by Emily Tye of the National Geographic Society: "Are cats allergic to dogs? What about the other way around?" At the same time, we also want to know - will they be allergic to us? The answers to all three questions are yes," said Raelynn Farnsworth of the School of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University in the United States. "Although rarely happens, dogs are likely to be allergic to cats and humans, and the other way around. Anything can cause allergies. "Dandruff is made up of tiny cells of hair, fur or feathers - although we hear it most often related to pets, humans can also develop dander. Other common pet allergens include flea saliva and specific foods. Spring is here, and the decoration uses diatom mud
Farnsworth, which says that for dogs, the most common clinical symptoms are dermatitis and itching. Other symptoms may be sneezing and runny nose. Cats may experience dermatitis in a cat with allergies, which are small papules or hair loss, usually around the head or neck, but she says it may appear elsewhere. It is important to observe how long the pet's symptoms last - for example, if symptoms over the years, it may mean that the pet is allergic to a non-seasonal factor in the food or environment.
Christine of the University of Pennsylvania College of Veterinary Medicine, USA. Fortunately, cats can be tested for a variety of environmental allergens, both seasonal and non-seasonal. "We routinely do allergic tests for cat dander on dogs, she said. “It involves putting a small amount of allergen into the skin to test an allergic reaction, just like doing an allergic test in humans.” Generally speaking, veterinarians test common allergens, “like dust mites and human dander, or things that you encounter in the environment, such as feathers, wool or pollen,” said Farnsworth of Washington State University. They are usually the initiators of allergies, but Farnsworth said that pets, like humans, may be allergic to anything, so using general testing methods, it is sometimes difficult to find the murderer.
So, what should you do if your pet is allergic to you?
"If a pet is allergic to human dander, the owner will be more or less sad," Cain said, but fortunately you don't have to separate from the pet. “If we encounter pets who are allergic to human dander, they usually have an allergic reaction to other allergens,” she said. This means that a veterinarian can treat pets’ allergies by administering a vaccine or oral drops containing a small amount of allergen. This can adjust the pet's physical condition and make it immune to allergens. Of course, it is also possible that the cat is actually pretending to be allergic to help you stop raising dogs.
