Can Pet Dog Be Kept At Home After Undergoing Liver Transplant?
My had a liver transplant in 2010, and the doctor said that she could be around pets because of their shedding hair. But sometimes she s around pets and nothing happens. Me and my sister wanted to get a dog, and a Chihuahua doesn t shed a lot like the other breed. But were not sure if it would be okay for our mom.
Hi. It's true that pets are contraindicated at immunocompromised patients homes I say i.e the transplanted persons, but if you can control the pet vaccination and health rigorously with your family veterinary then we can speak of a relative contraindication. So, you can keep pets, but strictly under vet control.
