Don't give your cat any medicine unless the Vet approves it. The chemistry of cats and people are very different and you can kill your cat real quick. On the other hand cats can take some meds that could seriously hurt a human. Tylenol will kill a cat found in allergy medicine. Please be careful.

The cat my family had when I was younger had allergies and the vet gave him allergy shots which seemed to do the trick in making him feel better. I would say to consult a vet. They know best what to do in most cases.

Absolutely. Veterinarian prescribed allergy medicine. A relative of mine has a cat on allergy medicine. DO NOT self-diagnose or self-medicate the cat - bring her to the vet. Good luck to both of you. : )

Hi there...ONLY if prescribed by a veterinarian. Nearly all human medications can be fatal to cats including allergy medications as cats cannot metabolize them like humans or dogs. Dosage administered is based on age, weight and the cat's overall health condition.

Yes but only under a vets order. Certain medicines have ingrediants that will kill a cat.

Yes you can. Check with your veterinarian, because antihistamines are different for cats, dogs, and humans. Certain medications that are safe for dogs or humans can be fatal to cats. The vet will know which medications are safe for your kitty, and if your kitty Needs an antihistamine.

Only if your vet prescribed it. There are many medications that would be fatal to a cat. Please consult your vet 1st.Why would you want to give it allergy med. anyhow, unless it was diagnosed with allergies,and then your vet would prescribe the meds.
