I had to sterilize everything every other day. I should have purchased stock in bleach!!! Kennels were sprayed and left on for 10 minutes before rinsing, everything was cleaned in bleach. The dogs had baths every other day in a special shampoo (left on for 10 minutes), along with their medications that had to come from a specialty pharmacy because Tia and Ally were small. Carpets were vacuumed every other day to pick up any spores that me or my husband had carried there when we walked; our dogs were not allowed on the carpet then. The spores can live in the carpet for two months! Toys were limited because they had to be washed. Everything was cleaned with bleach and if it couldn't be bleached, we didn't have it out. Furniture was covered and shampooed regularly. The dog is not considered clear until two hair samples come back negative. I hope your baby doesn't have it because it was just terrible!!! |
Ugh that sounds horrible! I am sorry that happened to you!!
