Whitney appears to have Feline Hyperesthesia  aka rolling skin disease. She has bouts once or twice a week.

I purchased this allergy test https://immuneiq.com/

and it said she was allergic to human AND pet dander and a host of other things like grass and nylon and pretty much all fish. Diet wise I give her nothing the test claims she is allergic to however I don't see a complete avoidance of human dander. Sheesh what to do and is the test even reliable???

Have you contacted a vet? That would be the first thing I would do.

I am looking for an allergy expert at the moment for her. Of course a vet is in order but I also figured someone on here might know something. Either about the tests reputation-many say it is a scam or the human dander allergy.

I did the same test on one of my cats out of curiosity and it said he was allergic to practically everything under the sun. The vets I work with totally dismissed it too. When it comes to allergy testing, you get what you pay for.
