I see that this is spam but since you had some good info that also
pertains to cats, I have to weigh in on my experience with an
allergic cat. Minus your web site link.

I don't know what you mean here.

And cats.

Did you put this through a translator program?

I don't think dogs or cats sweat. The rest is right.

Never knew that about Tartrazine or yellow # 5. Thanks. You need to
add wheat products to that list, and in some cases, corn.

2. - Inhalants: Dusts, or House dust, cosmetics, Acarus, Molds,
Pollens,
Wools etc.
3. From Contact: Perfumes, Drugs, Wool etc

Non-Allergic
Climatic Factors, Low Humidity, Excessive Heat, Extreme Cold
end. Irritating Primary Soaps or Shampoo, Perfumes, Rough
fabrics Wools and Nylon.

Lets not forget cleaning agents, animal dander, scented candles,
human dander.

Basic Therapy:

Corticoids,

Long term, it's possible that steroids won't work anymore. Reached
that point with mine with steroids as the only treatment.

Essential Fatty Acid are now used in skin conditions and will
help about 25% of Allergic Dogs significantly.

Didn't help my cat at all. Tried for at least 1/2 year with daily
doses.

Use or smooth acid oats soaps or Shampoos with Acid PH

This was tried and seemed to be soothing, but my cat didn't mind
baths. YMMV.

Antibacterial shampoos or soaps

Didn't try. Did try shampoo with hydrocortisone with some good
luck, but only very short term.

Emollients or Conditioners

Never tried.

Antihistamine Oral Sedatives

Tried with combination of antihistamines/EFA. No results.
