No. No problem. However if he gets the ASCT his immune system will be severely compromised and he will be told not to pick up any dog poo.

My doctor said there was no problem with pets. The problems come with sex, nursing, giving the pills to others, disposing of the bottles properly, and such. It is essential to wash your hands before and after taking the pills. Since this is related to thalidomide, it can cause birth defects. The instructions come with the pills. I think they are probably in the literature on this website also, but am not sure.

Thank you so much for your response! I will check with the doctor. Our dogs are my husband’s life.

I asked this specific question because we have 2 dogs and a cat and I was told I had nothing to worry about. But just ask to be sure. I would have been crushed if I was unable to be with my babies!!

I was warned about cats.....in the general information; I think it was online. The rest is what Phyllis described. I was also told for him to wear a condom while I'm on Revlimid.
