When it comes to dogs, it’s quite common for allergic people to be allergic to certain breeds and not others. That’s more rare with cats, allergies to cats tend to be against all cats, and kittens are worse than adult cats. I know I have read about , will try to find sth to support what I’m saying.

But if certain (breeds of) dogs provoke allergies in an allergic person, and others don’t, I’d be surprised if the same couldn’t apply to rabbits.

Try to avoid cuddling the bun that gives you this bad reaction. It challenges your immune defense and makes you more susceptible to colds etc.

ETA: I did a bit of reading. All dogs have the same allergen, but the amount varies greatly. The difference between breeds are not as big as the difference between individuals. A French study from 2007 found labradors to shed the least allergens and poodles the most, but the spread within the breed groups was very wide. There were individual poodles that shed less allergen than some Labrador individuals. This means there are no “allergen-free” breeds. Fur length had no impact at all in amounts allergen shed. What causes some dogs to have more allergen than others remains not understood.

So my guess is you are somewhat allergic to rabbits, and the rabbit you react to has more allergen than your other buns.

I’m one of those people who is allergic to just some dogs, it’s interesting to know why that is Bam! It doesn’t stop me from hanging out with ALL THE DOGS either

I’ve lived with pets I was allergic to before (but thankfully not rabbits!) It’s helpful to have a “clean room” where the animal doesn’t go, ideally your bedroom. HEPA air filters are great as well and remove a good amount of allergens from the air.

Fortunately I don’t seem to be allergic to bunny fur, and a good thing too because I’ve been in close contact with so many over the past month!
