Meet Adam, the Dog Who Is Allergic to Humans
• The adorable black Labrador confounded Lucky Dog Retreat Rescue in Indianapolis when he showed up with a mysterious inflammatory skin condition
When Adam, a frail black Labrador, first arrived at Lucky Dog Retreat Rescue in Indianapolis, he was a mess. His fur was coming out in clumps, revealing dry, cracked skin underneath, and the dog’s pained gnawing only exacerbated his condition.
Robin Herman and the staff at the center tried their best to ease his mystery inflammatory disease by starting a regimen of steroids, medical baths and premium food. And he did show some improvement, but not enough. So it was not only shock, but a relief, when they ordered a set of blood tests and found that Adam, it turns out, is allergic to humans.
“Humans? I thought [the veterinarian] was kidding,” Herman told RTV6. “She said, ‘Just like we can be allergic to dogs, he’s allergic to human dander.’”
Though she was thrown by the diagnosis, Herman remains hopeful that the “smart… great dog” can be cured of his symptoms. She is currently raising money for his treatment and says she won’t rest until he has made a full recovery.

Well, I'm glad my post gave you something to chuckle about.
“That said, name your pooches anything you want. It’s one of the last free choices you have.”
A wiser man would have pondered that sad truth in his heart and remained silent.
Well, it’s pert near apocalyptic, I tell you!

Walgreens, Vitamin World, Vitamin Shoppe, online.
The ear infections and ‘lady parts’ really screams systemic candida, to me.
Have you ever had her thyroid tested?
Whatever it is, you have my prayers that you find something to relieve her misery.
A wiser woman would have noted an olive branch for what it was, and accepted it graciously.
Or a clever forfeit.
You overestimate the import of this discussion, to me.
I, and everyone else, here, apparently, already felt free to name our dogs whatsoever we would.
Didn’t need your permission.
I also don’t “get mad” or “hate” people for differences of opinion.
Frankly, unless I get repeatedly pinged, I tend to just forget about running conversations/controversies.
More important things to worry about.
I doubt it. LOL
I asked an innocuous question, and you won't leave me alone about it. You want an argument - not a conversation, so this exchange has become pointless.
Gotta go now. I've got a business to run.
I turn my radio off!
