Am I allergic???????????

Is it possible to be allergic to a bunny. IM not allergic to my dogs or cats but however to me I can smell my bunny and it's hard to breath. Even though I clean her cage daily and everyone else says they don't smell her and then when I hold her I get really itchy. This is not something I want to tell my Husband until I know if IM allergic because he will want to get rid of it immediately to protect me I had bunny as a kid and I didn't get itchy when I held it then. Does anyone know what's wrong? I don't want to rehome her because I feel she is my commitment as we bought her and I hate rehoming animals but I guess if IM allergic I will have to. Does anyone know why I feel like I can't breath and then get itchy when I hold her?

    It sounds like an allergy to something. It could be the rabbit, the bedding, or something the rabbit got into. Change the bedding material, give the rabbit a bath, and if it continues it is most likely the rabbit. Any allergy that causes difficulty breathing could become deadly very quickly, so be careful as you give the rabbit a bath or have someone give the rabbit the bath.

    It's probably her bedding material. Just change her bedding material and see if that helps. And your husband will "make you" get rid of the rabbit to "protect" you? Really? What century is this? It's just an allergy. A little itching isn't going to kill you. And it sounds like your husband is controlling. That's a warning sign of an abuser. Maybe you should keep the bunny and lose the jerk!
