Christine, Yes, I'm glad you asked about allergy medicine for cats. The vet here sent me home last Monday without any allergy medicine. I called his office the next day and asked if he could prescribe cortisone. He gave me ten tablets of prednisone, 5 mg, to be given once a day. On the third day of this, and after the flea population has been reduced to less than 1% of what it was before, this appears to be helping somewhat in reducing the inflammation. Long-term therapy with cortisone should only be used if necessary to allow mobility of an infirm or geriatric cat. It suppresses the immune system. If your cat suffers from chronic flea allergy dermatitits, the best solution (for everyone involved) is to get rid of the fleas. David
