Well yea he will go to the doctor first. I doubt it's strep throat though because his sore throat doesn't hurt him a lot just a little itchy from what he says...It's just that we are all worrying it's allergies because we know we cannot part with Jake..Originally Posted by kara_leigh
He may just have strep throat or something, which doesn't have cold symptoms, and can produce a cough. Has he seen a doctor? I would probably do that before automatically assuming it is allergies or getting tested.
I will be very upset if they dr says that...especially because my parents might try to say things like "u care about your cat more than your father" and guilt trip me. It will be hard if it comes to that ...My parents are very attached to me and want me to stay and live with them through college, and I definitely don't' want my cat to be the reason I move out, it would just come across as wrong and hurtful to them. I don't mind living here for now because it's free and they don't make me follow any rules, and they treat me very nicely, honestly I see them as roommates they are very understanding and it's nice to live with them....but I feel responsible for Jake and if it comes to giving him up I don't think I can do it, I feel obliged to do everything in my power to keep him and make sure he is well provided for...I'm confused..I really really really hope my dad is not allergic...
I was just using strep as an example. The point I was trying to get across is that it may not be allergies, especially since he's only had symptoms for a week. There are a lot of things going around right now, so who knows what could be causing your father to have an itchy throat and a cough. I don't think I would even consider the fact that it could be an allergy to cats until a illness was ruled out.
You're right...He just happened to suggest it as a possibility. I hope it's something else like a cold!!
