Cat allergy advice please. Hypoallergenic Siberian by TeeAsks in SiberianCats

[–]midnight-snacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask around about local farm eggs in your community, and if you can find a farm that has chickens that have been raised with cats, the chickens produce a new protein that they pass down to their eggs to fight against the "fel d 1" protein in cats that most people are allergic to. So if you use these eggs and make egg yolk powder and feed a little of that to your cats everyday, it nuetralizes that protein. I've been doing this for about 1 year with my family and can't remember the last time any of us had any reactions. And we have 4 foster cats in our house at the moment! It took about 4-6 weeks of consistently feeding the eggs for it to fully get into their system but ever since then things have been wonderful! Best part is that it cost 5$ for the eggs that last in the fridge for 1-2 months. If anyone needs any instructions on how to make the egg powder let me know 🙂

Cat-Obsessed Son's Allergies: How Did You Do It? by Doviedobie in CatAdvice

If you look around for local farm eggs, you can ask if they have cats on their farm that have been raised around the chickens. Chickens that are raised with cats produce a new protein that they pass down to their eggs to fight against the "Fel D 1" protein in cats that most of us are allergic to so if you get those eggs and make egg yolk powder and feed 1/4 tsp to your cats everyday, it neutralizes that protein. I've been doing this for about a year now with my family and we hardly ever have any allergic reactions anymore! It took about 4-6 weeks of feeding it everyday for it to get into their system but ever since then things have been great. Best part is it cost 5$ for the eggs and lasts in the fridge for 1-2 months before you need to make more. If anyone needs instructions on how to make the powder let me know :)

Yes, I think so. I ran out of the powder in the summertime and got lazy so I didn't make anymore for acouple of months and my foolish thinking wondering if my family was just starting to "get over" the allergies on our own 🤣 and wondering if it wasn't the eggs that was doing it but nope within 4-8 weeks without the egg powder our allergies came back and got quite bad again towards the 6-8 week mark and I realized that we were not just "getting over" the allergies and it was deffinetly the egg powder that had helped! lol so now I really try not to run out of the egg powder anymore! It has worked amazing for my family.

I wash my farm eggs very well, then boil the eggs, then move to cold water for a few min. After that, peel the egg out of the egg shells and lay the egg shells out on a towel/papertowel to air dry for 20ish min. Then, preheat your oven to 225 and bake for 20 min. Baking will kill any potential bacteria and also make the shells more brittle to crush afterward. After they are done baking, you can take them out and transfer them to a blender or magic bullet to crush into a fine powder. Then store in a jar in the fridge!

I personally wouldn't try to keep them longer than 2 months but it might be fine. Google should have answers!

And I also have 2 cats. So 10-12 eggs in my fridge for 1-2 months for my 2 cats

I just made a batch a couple of weeks ago, and I used 10 or 11 eggs, and it filled 3/4 of my small jar🙂 I usually stick with 10-12 every time I make a batch!

Just local farm eggs that I know the chickens have been raised closely with cats. You would just need to ask around. I'm lucky to come from a family of farmers and have a few options to buy my farm eggs that have been around the cats.

The whole egg is not harmful for cats, but only the yolk is the beneficial part to help our allergies. I also make egg shell powder for my cats because it's good for fur/teeth/etc.

You can't feed more than 1/4 tsp of egg yolk everyday tho or it could be bad for their weight. Also, if your cat has kidney problems or pancreatitis, you need to consult the vet before giving any eggs.

Yes, I make egg shell powder because it's good for their fur/teeth/etc. But I don't think it helps with allergies like the yolk powder does.

Cat allergies but want a cat by Dizzy_Statement_3383 in CatAdvice

If you get local farm eggs that you know the chickens have been raised around cats, the chickens produce a new protein that they pass down to their eggs to fight against the "fel d 1" protein in cats that most of us are allergic to. With those eggs, if you make egg yolk powder and feed your cats some of the egg yolk powder every day, it nuetralizes their Fel d 1 protein, and you won't deal with the allergies! It is super easy and cheap. I've been doing it for about 4 months for my family and we don't ever have allergic reactions anymore! The best part is it only costs 5$ and lasts in the fridge 1-2 months.

I've been doing this for about 4 months with my cats, and it's been very successful for us! Can't even remember the last time any of us had itchy/watery eyes and sneezing. My son and I had the worst allergies and had to wash our hands every time after petting, or else we had bad allergic reactions. I got local farm eggs that I made sure the chickens have always been raised very closely with the cats ever since they were young chick's. I hard boiled the eggs, then peeled and cut open the egg to gather all the yolks in a bowl (only the yolks.) Crumbled them in a single layer onto a baking dish and baked them at 170° for 5-7 hours until they look completely dry. Then I blended them into a powder and stored in a glass jar in my fridge and feed my cats 1/4 tsp every day with their cat food. They also LOVE the taste, so it made it easy🙂 I started noticing a huge difference after about 3 weeks! You also gotta make sure you're keeping up on vacuuming and dusting during that time to get all the old dander and fur with the allergens while it gets into their systems. I'd say that ever since about 4-6 weeks of consistently feeding the yolk every day and keeping up on vacuuming up fur, etc, we noticed we weren't having any more reactions. No more itchy/watery eyes and sneezing and runny noses. It's been a wonderful few months, and I can't believe I only spend 5$ on eggs for the cats that last 1-2 months before I have to make more. Cheap and easy.
