Thats the whole point , its not great, because the dogs will be in the house, and the fact the child's illness is triggered by the dogs, means the dogs should NEVER be allowed in the home, or the garden if the child is playing there.




But the specialist has told KB the condition has nothing to do with the dogs.

No one is judging you for kenneling your dogs, or putting your child first, but it does seem that you have "decided" the dogs are to blame, and thus need to be outside...

But as I have pointed out, to eliminate all reactions to the dogs, no contact can be had, EVER, and in that I ask, is it fair to the dogs to be isolated for the rest of their lives from your family.


P.S, why not before you go and spend hundreds of ££ on kennels , why not send the dogs to boarding kennels for a few weeks, (or relatives) this will give you time to de -dog the house, and see if your child improves, if he does then the question needs to be asked, would the dogs be better off somewhere else, if he does not improve, yo know its not the dogs.

I was seriously pooing myself about posting this thread, as I was looking for advice on kenneling my dogs. However I did not expect people to be finding me on Face ache, and sending nasty emails, stating that I am an unfit owner, and that I am wrong to make my dogs suffer because of my child.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I love my dogs, I love everything about them, every spare second, every spare penny goes on them. I spend hours training/playing/walking/thinking of new ways to have fun together...

But, that does not even come close to the way I feel for my little boy. He is my world, I carried him for 38 weeks, I gave birth to him, I have nursed him and I have watched him grow from a helpless little baby to the naughty wannabe toddler that his is now.

In that time I have seen him hospitalized three times due to his eczema, and now because of croup (eczema related) and possible asthma. I have had to see my little boy being pumped with drugs, covered with a breathing apparatus, blue lipped, unable to breathe, totally terrified of whats happening to him. Now he is to undergo more testing/xrays and more poking/prodding.
I have had to hold him while he is screaming with the itches, had nights with him with no sleep because he is uncomfortable. I have spent hundreds on private dermatology, natural remedies,on organic cotton clothes, anti scratch clothes... you name we have done it, OH and I simply want to make our son comfortable and not have to suffer...we are tryng every remedy going, and eliminating every possible cause that we can...we will soon be replacing all carpets for wooden/laminate, curtains for blinds, and a leather sofa. Most of his soft toys have been removed, except for Henry bear, whom he cannot sleep without (he is washed daily at 90)

If moving the dogs out doesnt change anything, then at least we have tried it, and no real harm is done. The dogs are not being rehomed.

I was warned Dogsey could be nasty and judgemental...but wow, how dare I try to improve my sons health
