Should I get rid of my horses if I am allergic to them, or take allergy shots?

Answer 1

I can only tell you that if I was allergic to my cats, I would be taking the shots. Who's to say the new owners will treat your pets as well as you do?? I would feel guilty if they went to owners who weren't who they pretended to be.

Answer 2

Well I have two cats and two dogs and I love them to death and I could never get rid of them even if i was allergic. I would take the shots. But depends on how much you love your animal or how risky of a allergy it is for you. Plus I doubt your around your horse 24/7 ya know so I think ever once in awhile you'll be fine. Hope this helps

Answer 3

Depends on how much you like the horses. If you don't mind that the horses aren't gone then take the shots. If you mind the horses are there then get rid of the horses. Because if you don't want the horses, then it can be a pain in the *** to get shots every month or whatever.

Answer 4

Change your diet
because it is something that you are eating that is
probably causing this problem.

The reason why I say this is because
for years I had been allergic to cotton wood trees

but in the last year i had change my diet on my own
I cut out soda pop, and ate less meat
I began eating healthier

When the cotton woods came out in bloom this year
I was dreading my allergies
But it did not happen
I did not get red watery eyes
I did not sneeze
I did not have a hard time breathing.

I felt sure that for the first time in my life
it was because of my eating habits
So I got away from processed foods and
High fructose corn syrup
I can truly feel a big differnce in my life
with the allergy problem that I had once had

Answer 5

Depends on how much you're prepared to suffer. Unfortunately, allergies tend to get worse the more you expose yourself to the stuff you're allergic to. Talk w yer doctor, there may be some desensibiltating therapy available.

If you decide to keep the horses anyway, don't groom them inside the stable and let them stay outside as much as possible. Shower and change clothes each time you've been in contact w them.

Answer 6

Depends on how much you love your horses and how bad your reactions are. if a few shots will allow you to still be around them, I say do the shots. If you reactions are like life threatening go ahead and sell them. Just take the time to find them really good homes, it will make you feel a little better about having to sell them.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

first of all, if you love your animals, you wouldn't even have to ask this question. you might want to think about that for a minute...do you really want to keep your horses, even without the allergy issues? if you do, then most definately get the shots...its not that bad...

Answer 11

All depends oh how much enjoyment you get out of the horses really doesnt it?! If you love riding and animals, then yeh take the shots. But if your not having that much fun with them, then its prob not woth the bother. But make sure u can get them a good home! xx
