As with the human population, allergies feline symptoms seem to be on the rise. Allergic reactions in pets are often characterized by skin problems where a cat itches and scratches constantly sometimes even leading to loss of hair. One of the most common allergies feline may experience is food allergies. An allergic food reaction occurs when one or more ingredients in a pet’s food is perceived to be ‘foreign’ by the pet’s immune system and this in turn initiates an inflammatory mechanism to fight off this perceived ‘intruder’. The common symptoms associated with food allergies are itching, chewing and licking.

If you have chronic sinus problems and infections as well as post nasal drip you know how miserable the deep headaches and pain can be. There are many potential causes of chronic sinusitis, including things like allergies, or even certain types of fungi, but nasal polyps is certainly one of them. These growths in the nasal and sinus cavities, which are typically about the size of a grape, can cause significant blockages, thus causing buildups of bacteria and consequent infection. Although the exact reasons why polyps grow are not known, it seems they are more prone to appear in people who have asthma than in others. Unfortunately if polyps are removed in an operation, about one in every three patients has them grow back again.
