My DD who is 2 years old suffers with allergies. So far she's tested positive for milk and dogs. On Sunday she was accidentally licked by a poodle and developed an allergic reaction on Sunday evening which we think was from the dog she came in contact with. We gave her piriton and it went down.
She was extremely unsettled Wednesday evening and at 4am I decided to take off her vest as she was scratching like mad and the I saw she was covered in hives. Again gave her piriton and it went down. She went to her childminder as usual and the CM calls at 4pm saying she was having another reaction and asked if she could administer piriton. She sent a photo of DD in her nappy sitting on the carpet and she looked terrible. She was covered in hives and her skin was so red and angry. I went to pick her up straight away. On my way there my husband said I should just check the CM hadn't had a dog there. I told him he was mad as she knows our DD is allergic.
It turns out she had a dog there on Tuesday with my DD there too. Where she had taken my daughter's clothes off to monitor her, she had hives all over the body - nappy area, all on her back and tummy and exposed areas like her arms etc. I've never seen anything like it. It makes me think it's what she has been in contact with that the dog has also been on.
I would never risk someone else's child being around a dog without the parents consent - you just never know with dogs and toddlers. Secondly I'm soooooo upset she never told us when our daughter is allergic! It's like making a peanut butter sandwich around someone who is allergic to nuts!
Am I overreacting or do I have every right to be pissed off? We are waiting to monitor DD over the weekend but I feel I need to say something to the CM. We've only used her for 3 weeks and this is really concerning for me.
