Is having a rabbit around a pregnant woman bad for her?

my pregnant sister is coming for the holidays, and a friend asked me to watch his rabbit. I'm wondering if there are health risks or other dangers. As far as i know, the rabbit has had all its shots and goes to the vet regularily. My sister is allergic to cats. Could she also be allergic to rabbits? Could an allergic reaction negatively affect her baby?Is having a rabbit around a pregnant woman bad for her?
There is not really any risk with a rabbit being around someone pregnant. Also, the dander on cats is different than that on rabbits, she may still be allergic to a rabbit but it won't be because she is allergic to cats. If she is then just put the rabbit in another room and spend time with it in there until she leaves.Is having a rabbit around a pregnant woman bad for her?
I would just keep the rabbit clear of your sister just to be careful but I don't think that just because she is allergic to cats that means she is also allergic to rabbits.
some animal feces contain bacteria dangerous to pregnant women/ unborn children as long as she doesn't touch the feces


she should be fine.
