Controlling risk of infection on treatment
Hi again, My husband is going crazy cleaning everything and insisting that my dogs sleep outside ect before i start my treatment, what are everyones thoughts on the animals and how did you all avoid ...
Hi Penny. I live with two dogs and four children, had chemo and didn't get sick once. I don't think you have to worry about the animals. As @Afraser says, usual precautions should be sufficient. Don't let them lick you if you've got an open wound, scratch or somesuch.
I was careful with handwashing, keeping my hands away from my face, especially after being out and about. Friends who were sick weren't allowed in the house! But the pets were fine. K xox
