Okay… I got a cat he is about 7 months old. He is a russian blue, and is EXTREMELY loveable!!! He comes to me every time I call him and loves to be petted. Ive only had him for about 2 1/2 weeks, since I moved into an apartment with my boyfriend. In all honesty, I am completely attached to this cat.
Since the first day I got him, I’ve had TERRIBLE allergies!! Its hard to breathe through my nose, since its always stuffed. My eyes get itchy, and if I touch them, they feel even more worse and it feels like there it something in them, and then yellow stuff sticks to the insides of my eyelids, I feel like its hard to breathe like my chest is tight, if I breathe out deep you can hear wheezing, my throat itches on the inside…
It got so bad, that a week ago I had to go to the emergency room cuz the allergies where so bad!! They gave me an enibulizer, IV with steroids, and prescriptions. They also gave me an inhaler. They told me to get rid of him, but i cant!!!
I have trouble sleeping because i dont like breathing through my mouth, which I blow my nose ALL the time because I hate it being stuffy.
Ive tried Benadryl Severe Allergy- didnt work at all .. I’ve tried Loratadine (generic for Claratin)- worked for 2 days … (they were both antihistamines)
Now I am on Suphedrine (i think generic for sudafed) … its okay with clearing my nose…but nothing else..as it is only a nasal decongestant…not a antihistamine for allergies.
Is there ANYTHING i can do!?!?!?!?! It will break my heart and I REFUSE to give this cat up!!! I love him so much and i am at the end of the road here….please someone help!!!
