I would think that allergies could develop at any time. That's how it works with people, anyway.

Yeah, the vet and I had chalked it up to seasonal allergies...but after
seeing the improvement in SP's coat, I have to think that there's at

hadn't considered with Lola as I just switched litters, I think, just
before I noticed an improvement with her symptoms. SP developed his
symptoms around late January which is still a little early for seasonal,
but certainly not out of the question for Houston, TX! ;)
Perhaps there are two issues going on: food allergies and
seasonal/litter (inhalant) allergies? I'm having a difficult time
believing that the food would affect respiratory/eyes...so I'll indeed
stick with the new litter I bought (also on a whim simply because I
couldn't get to Sam's to get their usual litter)! Can cats suddenly
develop allergies to things they've been exposed to most of their lives?
