By coincidence, a matter of days after I decided I'd like to foster Cavaliers, my daughter, Antonia, complained of the usual symptoms she gets when she has been around cats, an itchy neck and wheezing. (I haven't had a foster yet.) We went through the usual routine of her stripping in the hall, me washing her clothes, her showering and me changing her bed sheets. I assumed she had come into contact with someone who had cats. If a cat owner puts their coat on hers for example she will be ill if she wears that coat.
I kept thinking it must be a cat, but she seems to only get triggered when she is at home. It's a bit confusing as, once triggered, it will last a day. Anyway, she was sure it was Dylan who triggered it. This weekend I dog sat a Scottie, doubling our dog population! Antonia stayed in all Saturday evening and was very ill by midnight. Streaming eyes, itchy, wheezy.
In the hope it is a cat allergy, there is one other thing I can think of to wash, her new mack. But I'm starting to accept she may be allergic to Dylan.
There's only one thing for it...Antonia will have to go :badgrin:
Any advice would be appreciated, she is taking neoclarityn daily now. It doesn't fully subdue all the symptoms.
I'm very disappointed I won't be able to foster.
