Well, undoubtedly life throws curve balls. And we’ve seen our fair share lately. But this one, neither of us was expecting.
Mark is allergic to Fungus.
Yeah, exactly. Curve ball. Mark is not allergic to cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, hamsters, or anything else with fur and four legs!
We took Fungus on Monday night. By Tuesday he had suspicious looking “bites” on his arms and legs. We checked and made sure Fungus had gotten Advantix or Frontline recently, and he got his dose within the past 2 weeks. On Wednesday, we could tell that it was not any sort of insect bites, but hives instead. Thursday, the hive patches on his arms and legs had increased in size, pain, and itchiness. Friday morning, this morning, the hives have now grown large enough to join together and become a large, red, raised, giant hive rash–AND they have spread to completely cover his chest. We called Austin first thing this morning and let him know that we just can’t do it; we can’t take on Fungus. So sadly, we’re giving Fungus back to Austin this evening after work. 
And then there was just one dog left… the Big Sky Montana.
