I have a 18 month old Chocolate labrador who has started biting and licking her front paws, they have become very red. I took her to the vets they say its probably an allergy and they want to do some drastic tests to find out what it is. Surely theres another answer? she started this in January and it was just one paw, now its both of them, can anyone help?

I’m moving into my own place soon, and I’d like to get a cat. I do have an allergy to cat dander, and I’ve read that cat dander allergies are worse than dog dander allergies because the allergens tend to stick to clothes and fabrics (like curtains and carpets). I understand ionizers work by sucking in air particles and giving the pollutants a negative charge so they “cling” to surfaces and can be cleaned up when the carpet is vacuumed or the drapes are washed. If this is the case, will an air ionizer really help my cat dander allergy at all, since it seems like the allergenic particles wouldn’t necessarily be airborne?

There is something in cologne/perfume that’s not in body spray that triggers my asthma. I went out with a friend and he had on cologne and my asthma starting bothering me. Before going out my asthma hadn’t bothered me in months because I stay away from things that may trigger an attack. My friend felt bad but it wasn’t his fault. This often happens with other things like bleach, ajax or any bad odor.
