"I had a cat come in whose eyes kept swelling shut. I treated her with a steroid shot and allergy medicine. The medications worked for about two weeks, and then her symptoms reoccurred. I had the owner switch foods, laundry detergents, litter, and several other things. After a lot of changes to the owner's lifestyle, we discovered the cat was getting into their dog's food and was reacting to that. It took a lot of monitoring of the cat to figure it out, but she was happy and healthy once we did."
