I am having a nightmare at the moment, my husband is allergic to rabbits, guinea pigs and hay! All of ours have lived outside, and he is fine with that and helps me to feed them without any side effects.
However... I have had to bring 3 piggies inside because of illness, a pair and a single (dental problems and an abcess) - one is in my son's room and the others were in the front room / office so my husband just didn't go in those rooms and he was fine.
However Pickles, our French Lop was diagnosed with pneumonia early in November and has so far done really well, even through the cold (she lives in an insulated shed) until it went mild and damp on Christmas Eve - overnight she took a turn for the worst and became very very ill. My husband is golden and rushed out and bought her a big dog cage and she moved into the front room, we took her to the vets and she is doing much better in the warm (fingers crossed).
Obviously now she will be inside through the winter. I have now had to move the guinea pigs into the dining room as she is obviously contagious.
My poor husband is really struggling (although he wont admit it), his chest is tight and his breathing is strained, his eyes are sore too.
I feel so guilty. Does anyone have any advice or tips that might help him please?
Sorry for the long post.
