[quote=Anonymous]OP,

Get rid of the dog. My son is allergic to dogs and has asthma. We had 2 dogs (pug and poodle-mix). My son was MISERABLE. His asthma actually worsened and at the least sign of a cold, he would get really sick and had pneumonia a few times. We didn't realize that he had allergies that were triggering his asthma until we took him to an allergist to be checked. Gave pug to a great home a few months later (she was a HUGE trigger). Other dog a few months ago.

I feel so guilty that I made my son suffer for so long just because I wanted to keep my dogs. At one point, he was on 5 different allergy/asthma medications. Even today, he had to stay home from school because a cold was coming on and I had to give him nebulizer treatments to ward off cold settling in his lungs.

It's an absolutely scary thing to deal with. He had a severe attack last Oct and could have died. Then, he had pnemonia in late November.

If I had it to do over, I would NEVER put a dog before my child's heath. Even for a little while.

Good luck to you and I hope your DD feels better soon. [/quote]
