I wasn’t aware of this but I had blood tests as well as skin tests at the veterinary hospital in May. All I know is I went into a room and woke up some time later with a shaved side and a fake tattoo. The results have only just come through, the skin tests showed I was allergic to grass but the blood tests show that basically I’m allergic to everything. T said it took so long for my results to come back because there were so many allergies to count!
T thought I should have a special suit to go out in so I wouldn’t get rashes, P said that was a silly idea and I wouldn’t wear it – he is so right.
Weekly baths are now a permanent fixture along with daily brushing and teeth cleaning. I have heard that humans are becoming allergic to lots of things and excessive hygiene is to blame. This I think is the answer in my case; T has a stock of Dettol which she uses liberally. My bedding is changed every week, I’m cleaned after every walk and there is the continual vacuuming, then T complains she has no time to relax!
Perhaps I need to get a bit dirtier to combat the allergies, if my coat is covered in mud then pollens and grasses will find it more difficult to get to my skin. Can’t see T going along with this but she is quite easy to fool, make her think you are going to do one thing and then do exactly the opposite, she falls for it every time!
Maybe P could learn something from me.
