Yeah, his hair is short and I have washed him 3 times since hes been home (only a week). I have not put anything on him such as flea powder etc. and yes, i know for a fact it is the dog because just laying on the ground playing with him (having him near my face) makes everything get 10x worse in about 2 min and if i hold him for more than 2 min i break out in little bumps that turn into a rash on my arms
I have tried zyrtec and claritin a few years back for much less severe allergies and they did not help, so i am somewhat cynical in thinking that it will help now. I have taken extra strength sudafed and that helps for about 2 hrs, but i cant take an extra strength sudafed every 2 hrs for the next 12 years! It absolutely breaks my heart to think i might have to give him up, and i would be soo scared he would go to someone who wouldn't treat him well. But, i also feel bad about keeping him because i feel i cant give him as much love as he deserves bc i cant hold him or snuggle with him etc. All i can give him is lots of exercise, but dogs..puppies esp. need so much snuggle and cuddle time.
Is anybody on YT looking for a new puppy??
