Hello,
I am 26 year old. I am planning to conceive in next few months.
I have a 6 year old Labrador at home. Entire family is extremely attached to it & the pet too is highly dependent on us to feed him food everyday. I am concerned if having a pet would have any side effects to pregnant women & to the infant.
My dog is frequently falling sick (vomits, omits blood in motion). It also shreds lot of hair leaving the couch full of its fur. We give bath to it once in a month.
I have recently started having rashes on my legs & arms which is - itchy & leaves red patches. I am concerned if this caused due to the pet.
Also, kindly advise what precautions myself & my family need to take going forward & especially during pregnancy & post-pregnancy.
Thanks,
Vasudha
