Default allergies?

Hi there,

You said you bath Zion regularly, is that with a flea treatment or just a shampoo? Have you checked him for fleas or other bugs - mites, etc? Just a thought.

It could just be the rough coat irritating your skin. Look into dermatological washes and soaps for you and your family to use, and as suggested, you can ask your family doctor what they think. I'm sure if you are extremely worried you could try some allergen testing to see if its something specific to Zion (dander, saliva, etc) that is setting everyone off. I'd think allergies would be lower on the list since everyone in your family is only affected by Zion. Your vet might have more specialized shampoos they could order in for Zions baths too.
