Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: question about allergies Mon Nov 19, 2012 7:04 pm | |
| Is it possible for me to be allergic to one of my huskies, but not the other? I always assumed it was the fur... and the fir should be the same...right?
I started sneezing like 2000% more often since oakley moved into the house. I know that its cold/flu season, but this definitely feels like allergies. i have mever had this issue with keeonah, so it's got me stumped! |

| I am allergic to dogs and it's not actually their fur that you are allergic to. You can be allergic to their dander (flaky dead skin), saliva or urine. Here is more info on it if you are interested:

Husky fur is different between them. My two have different type of fur one is sleeker the other has a softer fur it is kind of curly also. If you think about it the woolies have alot more fur and it is different that the sleeker or in between fur huskies. |

| It could be something on Oakley's fur and perhaps a bath would help?
I'm very allergic to dogs (level 4 out of 4) and the first few weeks of each dog moving in were the worst. After that, it got better. Now I still get stuffed up if I don't take my allergy meds on time but I'm less allergic to huskies than the other dogs I transport for rescue.
My allergist said to wash the dogs once a week for four weeks, then once a month after that. It definitely helps (he says it reduces allergens by 89% - and he would know, he wrote a book on allergies!)! Plus, we have allergy covers on the pillows, comforter and mattress and the dogs aren't allowed on the bed or sofa. We also vacuum at least once a day. It seems to get worse for me during times of high pollen, etc but all of these things plus Sudafed and Claritin keep it manageable. |
