Very sad

I know this is a very sad day for everyone and I am just feeling really overwhelmed with sorrow. In addition to the pain I am feeling for my friends who died 2 years ago, I am also sad because I may have to give up my puppy. I know that sounds inconsequential on a day like today, but I am just so heartbroken. I posted a few days ago about her with some pics, but my allergies have been getting worse each day, it seems, and I am having trouble breathing. I don't know what to do. I love her so much already, I feel like she is a part of our family.

Thanks for listening.

I'm sorry Alison!

Hugs to you Alison!

I'm sorry!

I am sorry, what kind of puppy?

I'm so sorry Alison

Hugs

She's a schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle). Here is my earlier thread . I just can't tell HOW bad my allergies really are. The first day I was ok, but it seems to have gotten worse as time goes by. I'm not sneezing or wheezing and my eyes aren't itchy. The only thing is that my chest is tight and I am having a bit labored breathing. I don't know, though, if there might be other reasons. I think I may be coming down with a cold, which may or may not be unrelated PLUS I've had no sleep this week AND it's my TOM. So I'm having trouble figuring out if this is entirely puppy-related or not. I REALLY REALLY don't want to have to bring her back, but I am afraid my health may be at 85% or less for the next 10-15 years if I don't. I don't know WHAT to do, but I am very grateful for all your hugs and support.

i'm so sorry.

When we got our two cats last year DH was also severely alergic, but they only lasted a week or two, and now he is 100% fine. I have heard of many people developing an imunity to pet alergies, sort of like a vaccination I guess. In anycase, I'm hoping you'll get better

So sorry that your sad

I knew this girl who went to get allergy shots once a week or once a month or so cause she was allergic to he boyfriends cats

she said it worked great for her
mabe you should look into it?

just a helpful thought

Yeah, I am hoping that maybe I will get used to it???

Tommybride, I actually already get the shots, but thanks for the suggestion.

I grew up with pets and was never allergic. Then when I got my own cat (a black one - which I hear tend to cause allergies more) I sneezed and was stuffed up like crazy! I thought I would have to get rid of him, but after a week or two, I was fine! perhaps you're just in the breaking in period. A doctor would know more on the subject, I'm sure - maybe give your doc a call?

I hope everything works out!!

this is what I think if I may be sarcastic but serious for a minute heh

do yourself a favor get rid of the doggy and pic up a nice fishtank, they stay in one place, they dont need to ba walked and their food is really cheap.
I have lots of fishtanks they are my number one choice for a pet. if you decide to go fish! just fm me and ill guide you thought the whole thing
