kl1977 · 02-28-2008, 03:03 PM

I have been sick every since Ive had her with no explanation. Ive had no fever, scratchy throat, cough. I dont know what to do?? Ive even had a shot last week to give my immune system a boost with no change at all. What do I do? Im trying to consult with the Dr right now. Lets hope this is not what it is.

Are you allergic to other kind of dogs? I hope its not allergies

my2boyz · 02-28-2008, 03:14 PM

Sounds like you have the same sinus/upper respritory thing that just about everyone else in the country has right now. My husband and I both have it...should last several weeks before you finally get over it. I hope that's all it is.....

I have EXTREME dog allergies. Honestly, don't freak out!! There are many things that you can do before you need to start getting scared. You should get tested...right now you probably have spring like temps meaning pollen and dust will be a factor. It could be something like that. Testing isn't painful and it will be WAY worth it! If it is your Izzy, then you can take 3 different routes. One easy thing you can try without busting your wallet would be taking zyrtec. It is now over the counter and my doctor said that it is the EXACT same medicine as what I pay prescription price for. Or you can try a more aggressive route and get allergy shots which will REALLY help or you can start taking a prescription meds like Zyrtec or Claritin in prescription doses. Don't worry...there are easy fixes.

Ive never really had any other animal in the house. Weve got 2 other dogs outside but we just got them within the last few weeks. So really weve not had any dogs for several years until the last few weeks

. My friend works at the Dr office and Dr seems to think its allergic. Ive been tested for flu and strep. Had a shot of steriods and taken meds with no change.

Is there someone that could take her for a couple days to see if you clear up?

kl1977 · 02-28-2008, 04:02 PM

The Dr stated yes definitely was allergic to Izzy, and to give Izzy to her lol.

maxs_momma · 02-28-2008, 04:07 PM

I have to agree with others i have the respiratory thing and it is hard to get rid of

Also i have a allergy to dogs but i take claritan everyday. My allergies are a little different though i break out in itchy hives.

I have to agree with doc though you are allergic to Izzy and no meds will help the only thing you can do is let Izzy come live with me instead of the doc lol

Sometimes it isn't the dog one is allergic to, but what the dog has picked up outside on it's fur..........grass, pollen, dust and so on. Is the Dr. going to give you the allergy test on your skin?

Sugar's Mom · 02-28-2008, 06:04 PM

Yorkies are supposed to be hypoallergenic but some folk are actually allergic to them. You can send Izzy right over to me!!!!!!!!
