    Who do you love more- your daughter or your dogs? If its the dogs, chances are that’s why you don’t have full custody.

    Talk to a doctor about getting allergy meds for her when she visits you.

    No allergies if we protect ourselves with skin repelants from insects or mites from animals we love…. be sure they are well maintained clean always

    My advise is go to homeopath and she will be fine, tell her to drinke more water.

    I have really bad pet allergies too–I get desensidized by the immunologist-they inject bits of cat/dog formula(hair..skin..etc) into my arm and i become immune to it. its quite costly but worthwhile in the longrun. my allergies hinder my ability to breathe through one of my nostrils because the sinus gets inflammed from my constand allergies to dustmites, grass, pollen..pets…etc. Aw well i hope that everything will turn out good for you!

    You need to wash the dogs at least twice a week or so I have hard and this will cut down on the allergens.
