Can a hamster cause an asthma attack or trigger some asthma symptoms?

by Symptom Advice on May 2, 2011

My mom has asthma and i really want a hamster. does anyone know if a Hamster can cause an asthma attack, or can you list pets that do not trigger asthma attack besides reptiles and fish?Thank You

It really depends what triggers her asthma, but hamsters should not bring on an asthma attack. However, the hay or sawdust used for their bedding may. Rabbits, Guinea pigs, poodles and birds are all suitable pets for asthmatics, but if it is severe you could consider getting a hairless dog or cat.
