Hi,  

     I have been allergic to my dog for sometime now, I am also
allergic to other substances too but I think the main culprit is the
dog.When I get an attack I have difficulty breathing but these
attacks are never accompanied by wheezing and coughing. What I'd like
to know is whether this condition is asthma or something else as I
do'nt cough and wheeze like most asthmatics. A medical opinion will be
appreciated. I can't tie up the dog as my dog is almost human and very
sensitive. I can't give him away because he is very hostile and bites
and no one would wan't to take him. So under the circumstances what
can I do ? will vacuum cleaning the house help.
