Hi,
After a long wait we finally got a puppy and my wife and I could not be happier. When we met him we immediately connected and finally picked him up last week.
After couple days having him, I developed an allergy against him. I tried most of the over the counter medications but that didn‘t help much. Since we live in an apartment it‘s really difficult having him around me. I have been around dogs and did never show any symptoms.
I get an itchy nose and eyes, sneezing, but worse is that because of that I can‘t sleep (frequent awakening because) of symptoms. We gave him baths and vacuumed the apartment all the time but this seems also to only help for a short time.
We had to bring him to a board and train program where they take really good care of him so we can figure out what to do and for my to take an allergy test.
I‘ll try again when we pick him up and want to see if anyone has any advice.
My wife is not ready to give him up but we have to consider this as an option. I feel really bad having to think about rehoming when he was really the best dog. He‘s now 9 weeks old and already reacts to his name and can stay in hin crate without whining for about an hour, we barely had any accidents with him and he is the most gently and playful dog.
Am I a bad person for thinking to give him away especially because he has been so good? Most people do not understand why we are considering this And it has been really hard on me.
Does anyone here had to regime their dog and has any advice? We try to keep him but if it really doesn‘t work I need to make sure it‘s really best for the dog.
