My 22 month old has an appointment for testing tomorrow. He has had food allergy testing in the past, is dog testing done the same way?
My poor little guy is sad he can't go to his Gramma and PaPa's. But it never fails if we take him there or to his other Grandma's he gets really pale and then breaks out in horrible hives.
He is already diagnosed with chronic hives so severe we carry an epi-pen jr. for him.

Back when i was tested the doctor used little needles on my back and it was painful and i was 29 then. Your child might not have to get so many has me he was checking for everything back then from plants to weeds. Your baby could be allergic to the pets or plants in their home.

Good Luck and God Bless you all.

My daughter has horible allergys and takes singular wich helps alot. Ask your dr. about it I think kids as young as 2 can take it your son is close to that age.
