First, I would try to find out what your cat may be allergic too. If she goes outside, flea preventative is absolutely necessary as many cats are allergic to even one flea bite. From there, we think of allergies as environmental like pollens, grasses, trees, dust, etc and also think of food allergies. If there is any possibility your cat could have a food allergy, you could talk to your veterinarian about a hypoallergenic or limited ingredient diet.

Regarding the shots, I suspect your veterinarian is talking about steroid shots. I personally prefer and recommend using oral steroids rather than injections as it gives you more control over the dosage. Some of the injectable steroids have also been implicated in contributing to the risk of diabetes with long-term use. I would talk to your veterinarian more about the options and see if you can find an option you are both comfortable with.
