Hi there, I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section.
My boyfriend and I brought home a wonderful little kitty back in December. We love her to pieces, except for the fact that my boyfriend is deathly allergic to her (we didn't know his allergies would be this severe). There have been nights where he's had to pull his recliner out to the porch to sleep outside because he was borderline having an asthma attack
We've since taken many precautions, such as:
- Keeping her out of our bedroom, where we spend most of our time when we're home
- HEPA air purifier placed in the bedroom, next to the door to catch outside dander
- Vacuuming and cleaning the apartment 2~3x a week
- Reactine
- Washing hands AND changing clothes after handling kitty
This might seem a bit extreme, but we are pretty set on keeping her a permanent member of our family. However, even with our efforts my boyfriend still suffers with some respiratory symptoms. I was wondering if any of you have suggestions or product recommendations for us, or your experience in a similar situation
Thank-you very much.
P.S. We are looking to book an appointment with a doctor to see what prescription or inject-able options are available in a few weeks
