I have had severe allergies for 30 years. They have not bothered me much for the last 5 years since I have been in a dog-free home. I have been tested and I am not allergic to dogs but I am cats. I am very allergic to Grass, Trees, and just about anything outside. Well since we got Wylie 5 weeks ago my allergies have gone WILD. My eyes itch and tear to no end, I can't breath, I'm so stopped up and I am miserable. I know little Yorkie babies are hypoallerginic, so what could the problem be. The only thing I have come up with is he is so little and so close to the ground that when he goes out to potty he is bringing grass back in the house and when I pick him up I'm getting grass particles on me. We have that Bermuda Grass that is dead right now. Does not turn green until Mid-May I think. We moved in July so this type of grass is new to us. We are use to tall fescue (sp?) Do you think the grass could be the problem? I'm on allery Shots, Claritin-D and Visine-A. Nothing seems to be helping.
