I'm an RN...not a pulmonary specialist by any means but I would certainly recommend that you investigate your treatment options. There are quite a few ways to control asthma with the right combination of medications. You very well may be having it unusually bad since you've just gotten the doggie and also doing so much brushing. Let someone else be responsible for more of his grooming...might be some "bonding" opportunity for some of your other family members...esp since he enjoys his brushing! Also, get someone else to pick up his bedding etc when it needs to be shaken or loaded into the washer,etc.

Also, this time of year you've got all the environmental elements that can aggravate the condition. Usually people with asthma also end up on some type of antihistamine as well. I see the drug companies are now marketing Singular for environmental allergies as well as chronic asthma treatment.

I'd certainly check into more of the medication options if I were you as well as ways to cut down on any "extra" dander exposure.

Good luck to you!!
