the things is i've had emergency funds for my animals, i had to treat them for mites and an URI before and that basically took out any money i had saved. my dog sheba is pretty old and the winter was very harsh on her this year, what money i had left over went to her as well.
the bedding i use for them is carefresh, i usually rotate with towels though. i don't like the mess carefresh makes all over my floor. i use hypoallergenic baby laundry detergent for the material i use in their cage, and anti bacterial bleach alternative dish soup to clean the cage and it's accessories. however i'm going to stop using carefresh, i noticed that these things happen within a week of them having carefresh in their environment so maybe they are of the few that are sensitive to the dust of carefresh. i also notice that whenever i do use carefresh their itching worsens.
i took her to the vet for a check up, she put her on diphenhydramine hcl? i was told it was an allergy issue due to her symptoms occurring within days of the sprout of plants outside. i'm planning on investing in a small air filteration system for the room if she gets better within the next week. my birthday is the 25th and whatever birthday money i receive will be saved towards this. if she doesnt get any better, it's back to the vet i guess.
i'm just so confused. i've had bunnies, guinea pigs and gerbils and none of them were sick as frequently.
