My son is 2.5 years old and we've noticed that if he goes around my parents 2 cats his eyes start to get red and itchy and he will scratch them all day. If he doesn't touch the cats his eyes my or may not get red and itchy. We have no known pet allergies in the family. Are younger kids more prone to pet allergies? Do they over come them when the get older? We have a Boxer and he's fine with the dog.

I would like him to get an allergy test done but I heard he's to young right now. Does it sound like allergies? Do they affect the eyes? I do not have any allergies so I am not sure.
