My son is severely allergic too! I did not find this out until he was older. He suffered so much when he was little. I feel very guilty about what he went through as a baby and young child. He was constantly sick. We had cats.
When The MD. gave us a refferral , My child was 14 yrs old. The allergest did the skin tests and that is when the truth came out. CATS were the number one severe allergy. Along with DUST, Trees, and so many other things!
He has to take shots, enhallers , and medications to this day! Fortunately I had gotten rid of the cats long before we discovered the allergies. He still loves cats. But , can't pick them up or pet them .
It is a difficult decision to make when it's a beloved pet , your child is allergic to. If the meds are not working, and your child is suffering , then It is not right to keep the dog inside at least? Perhaps anther family member could take your golden ?
At least then the dog would still be a member of the family. I am very sorry you have to make such a difficult decision.
