Re: Testing my cat for evidence of exposure? Help Please...

[Guest guest]

Well, my neighbor's dog had chronic fungal skin sores just as my neighbor did -

that cleared up when they moved from the moldy apt. My cat gets cysts on her

skin that I think may be related, but I haven't had her tested.

Hello,

I am told that we need to get our cat tested to see if there is any

evidence of mold exposure.

I was wondering has anyone had to have a cat tested and if so what

test did the Vet run? I was wondering if anyone has had their cat

tested for elevated levels of IGG antibodies towards molds?

Thanks again for any help..

Oh just one last thing..what kind of symptoms are present in

animals.our cat has a constant runny nose, is loosing A LOT of hair

and has A LOT of white flaks coming off the skin..

Thanks again...

My cat - the one the doctors told me to get rid of that I described

in Mold Warriors, has gone everwhere with me throughout this entire

experience - and she is quite the MoldKittyWarrior.

When we were forced into a transient plume exposure location a

couple of years ago, whenever I was " slammed " , my cat would crawl up

on me - look me right in the face and meow with a long drawn

out " imperative " tone.

This happened so many times that I am convinced that this long

" meeeoooooOOOOOWWWWWW!!!! " is Kitttyspeak for " Let's get the Hell

out of here! "

Of course, peoples first reaction is to say that " Oh, the cat is

just responding to your emotional state " . It does no good to point

out that I could be asleep in the middle of the night and be

awakened by a cat on my chest, screaming at me - and only then

become cognitive that I was being moldslammed.

When I left that " bad place " , both my cat and I felt immensely

better and that peculiar behavior of loudly screaming at me has not

recurred.

---Hi, yes animals can get very ill and die from mold exposure. I'd

say the symptoms are about the same as ours, and it sounds like your

cat is haveing symptoms. but I think it can effect them much more

because of their size. vet's are way ahead on this and should have a

good idea of tests and treatment. dont know much more about it than

that, good

luck.
