My 3 year old has been diagnosed with asthma, at the moment it is not under control.

Our piggy Harry has been living in the house over the winter (it has affected my husbands asthma & have been advised it may well be affecting our 3 year old as well) so we now have to get him outside ASAP. My husband can deal with it but as my sons asthma is not under control we have to do everything possible to help him.

Is it OK/safe to move Harry outside now? He has a large hutch in the garden, it's on 2 levels so we can keep him on the top floor by blocking off the ramp (it's so big he still has lots of room), we use vetbed/hay etc. His sleeping area is enclosed & we have 2 of the pet hot water bottles. He has both a rain cover for the hutch & the cover to keep it warm.

We live on the south coast, this week day time temperature are forecast to be around 15/16 degrees with the temperature at night said to be 4-7 degrees.

Many thanks
 
Hi love really sorry to hear about your boys asthma, i do hope it's controllable and he grows out of it!

Could you change Harry onto fleecy only? and maybe just give him some small amount of hay daily?
OK if not......... the house sounds really good, i'd not have him on bottom level either. Is there some way your OH could perhaps build him a shed? that would help for the chilly night times and the hotter summer weather.
But for now as long as you can cover and keep him warm at night and protected thru the day regarding the sun and birds, cats, etc.. i think you'll be fine :)

All the best with both your men and their asthma :(
HUGS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
