Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 Poodles are said to be very easy on people with allergies. They do shed, but the hair tends to stay in their coat until they're groomed instead of winding up all over the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 : As a former ferret owner (my sis has since kidnapped them into one big ol' fur pile!), if you are really interested in having a pet you can play with, without having to worry about the allergy factor-ferrets are great! I would get 2 so they can entertain themselves if you aren't home, but they sleep 15 hours a day and then love to bounce around the house. They are a lot like kittens. We adore them but they do need a large cage when you aren't home and a place they can't get out of when you let them " out " to play. If your grandson is under 10, I wouldn't get them though as kids tend to be too rough with them. Otherwise, there's always an aquarium! Hey! Aren't there also hairless dogs and cats? I know our neighbor got a standard poodle because they don't have fur-rather they actually have hair or don't shed or something and their kids were all allergic!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 1999 Report Share Posted November 23, 1999 Had to add my two cents. I have three Yorkshire Terriers and love them. They are lap type dogs and very lovable. They are very, very loyal and great pets. THey do not shed or have dander and are easy to take care of and have in the house. I recommend getting one at a time as it is easier to train them that way. You can easily have only one but once you get one it seems that you are a sucker for them and can't help yourself.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 As an allergy sufferer myself, I felt I had to jump in on this one! I have had eczema my entire life, I have also had pets in the home my entire life. Allergy testing at a young age revealed I was allergic to cats and dogs, more so to dogs (as well as everything else on this earth that grows). And we had a dog in our home at the time. My mother said I went hysterical when the dr told her to get rid of it. The funny thing is, I always had more problems with cats. Whenever I was around one, I couldn't resist petting it. I would itch, and my eyes would react to the point that the whites of my eyes would swell. I developed a tolerance to cats after sleeping over at a friends house several times. She had a gorgeous longhair calico and I would wake up with him on my chest. One morning, I noticed I wasn't itching or sneezing. I never had a problem with him again and my reactions were less severe with new cats. To make a long story short, Tolerance can be built up to animals. We now live with a dog and a cat and fish. Chelsea loves all three and is truly fascinated by animals. Chelsea had occasionaly spit out a word and once it was " pa-bo " , our dogs name being Pablo. As for milk products, there could be some truth in that. My eczema flared to intolerable levels this summer and after some reading, I am doing the elimination diet. For about 2 months, I have cut out wheat and dairy. My condition has improved. but I am also making an effort to eat healthy in general. I also believe nasal allergies are what contribute to the wet sound in Chelsea's throat. She has dysphagia and her snot runs down the back of her throat instead of out her nose. She has been on Claritin for awhile and it has helped, better than Nasonex we used prior(and still use). She also uses Flovent ans Albuterol(as needed) with chest pt for her suspected lung issues. Hope I have not bored you all! e, Chelsea's mom (non-specific mito) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
