| Hi welcome to YT. Maybe you are allergic to one and not the other because of the coat. Some yorkies have silky coats and others have cottony ones. I am not sure if that would make you allergic to one or the other but maybe that could be a reason why you react to one and not the other. I wish I could help you more but I am not too sure about this. I would check with an allergist before making any drastic decisions like giving your baby away. My fiancee is an asthmatic also and our Nikko has cottony hair but it doesn't seem to affect my fiancee. Good luck!!

| Make sure it's not any products (shampoo, flea treatment, etc) that the person you got her from put on her before you do anything drastic! I would also give her and you more time to get acclimated before making a decision. Do you take allergy shots? Also, asthmatics have so many more resources now, like daily Singulair and inhaled steroids like Advair that work as preventatives. If you are a severe asthmatic-your health comes first-do what you have to do!

| Im so sorry that you are having allergies with your new yorkie baby. You can be allergic to the pups saliva. I dont have any advise at this time,but hopefully someone else will. My kids and I are asthmatic also and so far we havent had any problems with Gucci. Good luck and please keep us posted. By the way welcome to YT. Any pics? |

| i had the same problem i had the same thing happen when i got my rocky. i hadn't had problems for years then i got him and i was a mess. itching eyes, runny nose etc. i 've had him now for 10 weeks and i've stopped having the problem. i think it may have been part him, his flea bath since he had them when i got him as well as the fall season coming with all the molds etc. it has calmed now with the first freeze. i hope it calms down for you too. i know i was worried sick! good luck michelle |
