My 7yr old dd has never had a reaction to any animal before we have dogs she goes horse riding, stroked cats no problem then two nights ago we went to someone's house for 15 min who had a long haired cat a rag doll I think they are called, dd was stroking it and 2 hours later all her legs came up in a red fine itchy rash and by morn all her arms too none on her back or front and her face is just a bit blotchy, took her to the dr who said it is an allergic reaction to something and given anti histamine. She's had 3 doses but its not improved at all and she's going on hol in the morning with her dad.
I'm just puzzled as the only thing different was that cat????

Can you be allergic to just long haired cats?
