Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Sorry to hear Josie had a reaction to the dog hair. We don't allow Ethan near any cats or dogs as he tested positive to them and there are a lot of family members allergic to both. I'm currently trying to find daycare for Ethan and " no pets " is one of my requirements. I have a question for you since I see Josie is allergic to peanuts. Does your provider give peanut butter to the other children? I'm not sure I will have much luck finding a provider that doesn't feed peanut butter.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Missy What a bummer to have to add another thing, but the good news- most kids outgrow dog allergies- that according to our allergist. Sam used to break out in hives the second a dog licked him and he was contantly having other problems when just around them. Now he can actually hug on our outside dog. As long as a dog doesn't live in a house- he is fine with it- once we're in that house- he has a few more problems although it has cleared up quite a bit! Trish > Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 That is sad that she is allergic to dogs. I think that is allergic to cats. When we go to my sisters house he sneezes a lot. I love animals but am allergic to cats. I love dogs though. We don't have any pets though. I am glad that it isn't another food though!!! Alyssa New Allergy? Hi everyone! Thought I would share our weekend adventure.(Josie is allergic to milk, eggs, beef and peanuts.) We have been hoping that she wouldn't show any signs of seasonal allergies like my husband and so far so good. However, this weekend, we went up to my grandma's house and she has a dog. She lives in a rambler and the dog pretty much has free reign of the house. After being in her house for a while, I noticed Josie itching her nose and eyes a bit. Didn't seem too bad. Unfortunately, she woke up about 2:30 AM crying and rubbing her eyes and nose. Her eyes were a bit puffy and her nose was runny. So...I pulled out the Benadryl and we took a little break outside to look at the stars. The fresh air and Benadryl seemed to help. So...I think it's safe to say we won't be getting a dog anytime soon. Josie has been around dogs and cats before but she never really showed any signs of them bothering her. Ya know what's funny is I just spent 4 months searching for a new daycare. I had decided to change from a center to a home daycare in the hopes that smaller numbers would keep her a bit healthier. (She always seemed to be sick at the center.) Well, about 2 months into my search, I decided to change my search a bit and limit it to pet-free homes. Took my search from hard to nearly impossible. I decided to change my criteria after reading a post from someone on this site who said they bought a "safe" dog and after a bit, their child became allergic. I decided that I was being so incredible picky as it was that I didn't want to find someone with a dog and then have to move her all of a sudden because she was allergic. Luckily, we found a wonderful pet-free home and thank God I decided to change my search.Anyways...thought I would share our latest. I'm assuming this is another allergy to add to our list. I think it was just worse at my grandma's because the dog hair was everywhere!Wow...that got long!Take care everyone!~Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
