[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your posts make no sense. [b]What you describe is not an allergy.[/b] You want to get rid of the dog and you are blaming it on "open sores"?

Nope. Own it. You hate the dog.[/quote]

Let me clarify this, it's not a 24/7 allergy. When my child has an asthmatic reaction and we have to take out the albuterol inhaler and the nebulizer that the insurance company gave to us, the dog is indeed the cause, per the allergist. Why should I keep a trigger in the house that pushes my child into ashtmatic fits that requires days of steroid treatment?

And yes, she is a bit desensitized to our dog, but is still allergic, she is much more allergic on initial contact to other dogs.

And again for people who are unclear, the eczema itches, so my child scratches her skin raw, which means open sores. Any lotion, even vanicream & aquifor burn, which leads to screaming, crying, bleeding, painful baths, scabs...

I'm not sure why this is just me hating the dog which isn't the case at all or how I am not describing an allergy. Is constant nasal drip not an allergy? I'm really thankful for the kind thoughtful responses offering solutions, but we've been to three specialists including dermatologists and allergists, both agree the dog is the cause. We've had painful skin testing done, the dog allergy was bright red and most reactive. Why would I make this up to get rid of a dog? You are unreal.[/quote]

Ignore these people OP, I read through this whole post and your story makes perfect sense to me. I have a severe cat allergy that causes similar symptoms. I hope that the farm works out, I know it must be hard for your DH to give up his dog but deep down he knows it is what has to be done, especially with your DD's asthma attacks- too dangerous to not take seriously! Good luck! [/quote]
