Que la ALERGIA no te separe de tu GATO 😾🤧| ¡Acaba con los síntomas!

Okay, so you have a cat, you live with it in complete happiness and harmony, but you've just discovered that you're allergic. What now? Hi, I'm Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Cat allergies are diseases that occur quite frequently. It's estimated that around 25% of all people in the world are allergic to cats. And it's a disease that occurs without warning. In other words, you may have had cats your whole life, you may have been in contact with cats your whole life, and suddenly one day you start to notice that your nose is a little runny, that your throat is itchy, you sneeze, you clear your throat, and in the end, wow, you discover that you're allergic to cats. Although, of course, you could also be allergic your whole life, and that when a cat comes near you, you'll puff up like popcorn. Well, in any case, in today's video, I'm going to give you some tips so that your allergy doesn't get in the way of sharing your life with a feline companion. Many people think that cat allergies are caused by their fur. But nothing could be further from the truth. Cat allergies have to do with a protein that's present in their skin, in their flaking, in their dandruff, which. Which is called Feld1. Feld1. This protein spreads throughout your home as your cat walks around. Because even if your cat doesn't have visible dandruff, it's true that they do have flaking skin just like we do or any other living being. The micro particles from their skin get deposited in your home, and that's precisely what causes your allergy. With hs, we have dandruff, right? We have everything the same. The cicadas on our skin from human shampoo. But hey, it's okay. Never use human anti dandruff shampoo on cats, please. That's nonsense. Jose says this because he has no idea. This Feldi1 protein, the allergen, is present in the skin of all cats, but not in the same amount in all of them. Therefore, there are cat breeds that will cause fewer allergies than others. These breeds that are considered hypoallergenic are, for example, the Bengal, the Devon Rex, or the Siberian cat, which is like the paradigm as the breed that causes the fewest allergies. And sometimes, if these cat breeds are crossed with another, their offspring will also have less of this type of protein in their skin and therefore will cause fewer allergies well, you may be wondering what happens with bald or hairless cats like the Sphynx. Do they cause fewer allergies? Well, as I've already told you, the hair thing has nothing to do with it. But it is true that since they don't have hair, they don't retain as much flaking on their bodies. So when you pick them up off the floor, pet them on your lap, etc. They may cause a little less allergy. But anyway, this protein is still present in the skin and you may still get an allergy. Mind you, I'm not saying that you have to buy a cat of this type of breed. I'm simply giving you the information because there are people who, for example, live with cats of these breeds and see that their cats don't give them allergies, but other street cats do, and they don't know why. But in any case, I am always in favor of adoption and in no way am I in favor of exploiting breeds for commercial purposes so that you can buy them online as if they were a gift. Having said that, yes, everything I'm telling you is very good and nice. But you already live with a cat and you go to the allergist and suddenly he comes to you and says you, you're allergic to cats. What do you do? Is the world falling apart on you? Can't let them go near you under any circumstances. Are you going to have to give your cat up for adoption? Let's not make hasty decisions. Everything will depend on your degree of allergy. And therefore it is absolutely essential that before anything else, you go to the doctor and find out very well how it affects you, that your cat lives near you. If it's affecting you too much, because, for example, you have asthma and you get asthma attacks, well, obviously in those types of cases you have to make decisions a little faster. But if it's just a slight itchy throat and so on, well, there are things you can do to improve the coexistence between you and your cat. And since the problem with you suffering from allergies is that your cat happily releases allergens around your home, what you have to do is prevent these allergens from accumulating. How? Well, here's the kit. First of all, get rid of carpets. Get rid of rococo decoration in your home. All those carpets, cushions, very dense curtains are going to cause your cat's skin cells to accumulate on them. And in the end, your home will be a nest of allergens that you will be tremendously harmful. Therefore, Be minimalistic and remove all that from the way to prevent them from accumulating. There continues the method. The second piece of advice. Each to his own bed. And well, God is everyone's bed. Your cat should not sleep on your bed or near your face, nor should he access your bedroom, even if you are not in it. You spend between six and eight hours a day in your bed and if your cat has been lying around spreading his skin cells everywhere, in the end it will be in contact with you for a very long time and your allergy could develop worsens. Therefore, always close the door to your bedroom during the day and let your cat always sleep in its bed separate from you. This way you will notice the signs of allergies much less. It is usually recommended that you put a plastic sheet over your bed, not so much to prevent allergens from getting into your bedspread in bed, but because cats usually do not like the feel of plastic and so your cat will gradually abandon this habit. You can also apply all this to your sofas and chairs in your home if they are upholstered, because if you let your cat climb on them, everything will be full of allergens. You can put a blanket where your cat can sleep when you are not sitting down and when your cat is not present, remove the blanket and your sofa will be cleaner. Clean your house very, very frequently and to do this if you are allergic, what you can do is wear a face mask to prevent you from inhaling dust when moving all that dust, your cat's allergens. It's much more efficient to use a vacuum cleaner to clean your home, especially if it has filters that trap allergens. These types of filters are called EPA filters and are made to prevent allergens, including dust mites and even your cat's skin cells, from leaving the vacuum cleaner once you've picked them up. Well, all this advice may not seem very useful, but I can tell you that yes, they really do work. For example, my sister in law is allergic to my light and when she comes to my house, my mother does a thorough cleaning of the entire house, which greatly reduces her allergy symptoms. However, when she goes to houses with other cats, the poor thing gets really upset. Best regards, Celia. Well, what I'm going to tell you may not seem like much to do with it, but yes, fertile males tend to have much more of this protein on their skin. Therefore, if you live with a male cat, you might want to consider the issue of castrate him because that will make it less likely to trigger an allergic reaction in you. I'm in favor of castration and this is another great advantage that I haven't mentioned in any other video. So. So take note. Also, if you want to avoid all this skin that accumulates on top of your cat's fur, what you have to do is brush your cat very, very frequently, because that way you'll remove all these dead skin and hair residues where all the flaking is accumulating. And that way you'll make your cat spread it around your house less. And since they tell me I'm the king of consistency, yes, you can also bathe your cat. I've told you many times on the channel that I'm not in favor of bathing cats, but obviously this is one of the exceptions. If you're an allergic person and you're going to make bathing your cat less harmful to you, if you then go ahead, your cat may not have a very good time, so you won't have to keep him soaking wet all day. But maybe a couple of times a month, yes, you can bathe your cat to prevent all these allergens from concentrating as much with regular soap or some other special soap. Cat shampoo. Never. Anti dandruff shampoo. And now let's move on to another segment of the video that is not sponsored, although it may appear in which I'm going to talk to you about a product that can help you combat your cat's allergy. This product is applied to the skin and what it does is moisturize it, prevent it from flaking, and also neutralize these allergens a little to prevent them from being so harmful to you. Since I know you're going to ask me. Well, I'll tell you the brand. It's called B. Triton by Behr. I don't know if there's another one on the market, because the truth is that I only know of this one, but I know that it works quite well and well. As always, there will be people who will tell me in the comments if Bear is paying me, if this is sponsored, if I'm making a fortune thanks to the pharmaceutical companies and the terrible industry that sells cat food and medicine. Well, that's it. You should know that I haven't received a single penny from Bear, although it would be very useful. Bear, you should know that I'm open to negotiations. I'll send you my account number here on WhatsApp and we'll talk later. These types of lotions are applied after you've bathed your cat and after you've brushed it after you've removed all those dead skin cells, you have to make sure that you've brushed all parts of your cat's body. The belly, under the head, the back area, the paws, to thoroughly remove all the dead hair and all the dandruff. Look at my mother's work right now on my cat. She does it very well, very methodically, with the hair and against the hair to remove everything. Everything very well. And my cat, well, it doesn't leave any residue. After you've brushed it, it's time to apply this lotion that I'm telling you about. You have to apply the product to a cloth to dampen it quite a bit. And with this very damp cloth, you have to go over it from the coat to your cat. Do it both with the coat and against the coat so that the product penetrates really well and touches the skin. Of course, the product is not toxic or anything like that. And if your cat licks it or grooms itself a little after you've soaked it a little with all this lotion, don't worry because it won't get poisoned. Make sure you reach all areas of its body when you're applying it. Please don't leave out the belly, which I know is an area that cats don't like to be touched very much, or the genital area. You have to apply this type of product about every week to prevent your cat's skin from drying out between applications and releasing these allergens into your house again. There is no one in my house who is allergic and lives with a cat on a regular basis, except my sister in law who comes over from time to time. This lotion is applied to my cat a little before my sister in law arrives, about a couple of weeks or so before she arrives beforehand hand to give it a couple of applications and for its skin to be completely ready for the moment when my sister in law is going to come into contact with the cat. And the truth is that it works quite well since we applied it to her and she takes a little more precaution so that the cat does not come into contact with the sofas or that the cat does not get on the bed where she is going to sleep. It is true that her allergy symptoms have decreased considerably and she can spend several days there and not choke or have episodes of sneezing, coughing or an itchy nose as she did before. But if a person lives with a cat and that person is allergic, they have to apply the product every week of their life.

Yes, keep the house very, very clean and apply the product. Yes, yes. I hope that all this advice that I have just given you helps you. But if you have been diagnosed with an allergy, you must always listen to your allergist because he or she will be the one who will best help you control your allergy symptoms. I am the cat doctor and I can only advise you give you some advice to prevent your cat from being a bit of a problem for you. But obviously in this case each person is different and it may be that your allergy is very, very strong and this advice will not help you. At least I have tried. If you accept my advice, I will give you some advice. If you have been diagnosed with an allergy but you are a cat lover and want to live with one, instead of rushing, jumping into the deep end and adopting a cat right away, what you can do is take in a cat from a shelter to live with it for a while and see if you are compatible during that coexistence or if it causes you a lot of allergies. And it will simply not be possible. If when the foster care period is up and after having followed all these guidelines and the advice of your allergist, you realize that even you can live with it without any problems, then go ahead and adopt it. And of course I have not said it, but I think it is implied. Never abandon your cat because you have an allergy. Look for it, find it always a home where he can have a full life.

So YouTube will notify you every time we upload new content. Thank you very much for following the Happy Pets and Families channel and I'll see you in the next video. And today we continue with some hater comments that I know many of you like this section and it's been a while since we read any and we're starting with one that isn't about hating me, but about teenagers and if we castrate horny teenagers. This comment was made to me in the video about furrer against castration where I receive a lot of hate. Dear Jack, teenagers who, although they can be just as noisy as a cat in heat, are are not the same as the problem of abandonment that occurs with pets. Next, Abraham. What a pathetic video. I couldn't expect Anything less from Yvette, I'll give you my dislike. Well, thanks for your dislike, but I think it's called a dislike now. I think this was on the ITAF video, right? Another win win on the subject of haters. And well, I think the hate of the Year award went to Marcelo Renato Giacomino, who tells me this guy is disgusting, founding Animal Violence. And I still haven't finished watching the part where he probably says he's in favor of castration. Yes, I'll spoil it for you. At the end of the video he said he was in favor of castration. But man, comment on the videos when you've watched them until the end because you might be surprised in one of them. Well, to the haters of the world, keep leaving me comments on the hater videos because at some point you'll appear in this section of the Best Hater comment. Although I doubt you'll make it to the end of the video to see me. When I mention you until next week, I feel enlightened and happy.

Bye, man. It's just that when I say fell about one person at a time, it's a little weird for me. And you go to the allergist. The allergist. Okay. I don't know what I was going to say. Hey, why do suitcases make so much noise? No, no. Alconic bread. You know what that is, don't you? The Colorado grasshopper. Well, no, but because it's only one thing. Well, it doesn't matter, right? When I went to live in Italy, the girl who cleaned the landlord's house was Romanian and spoke Spanish because she had learned it from novels. Here we never go out to combat the allergy you have because of your cat. Because of your body. Right? From your cat's body. Oh, well, yes, that's true. I'll tell you later. Yeah.
