Parents of a sick six-year-old have slammed a school for refusing to get rid of their pet dog despite their child "choking" from her allergy to animal hair. <\/p>\n

Mark Gordon, 53, and Irena Ivanyk, 44, claim they were forced to pull their daughter Yana out of The Mead school in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, after the school refused to get rid of the animal.<\/p>\n

The pair said they were left puzzled after Yana came home from school struggling to breathe but was later diagnosed with an unexplained allergy. <\/p>\n

Mum Irena said her little one's diagnosis became clear after she attended parents evening and spotted the dog in the corridor, reports The Mirror. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"We just didn't realise this was an allergic reaction to animals at the start," she said.<\/p>\n

"She started having something very similar to a virus and it just kept on happening, we couldn't understand why."<\/p>\n

The mum said she had not been informed of the school's decision to introduce a dog – even though she has confirmation from her GP of her daughter's allergic reactions to dogs and cats.<\/p>\n

On the night when Irena began homeschooling her daughter, she claims Yana became very ill and started "choking and suffocating".<\/p>\n

The parents insist it was clear the reaction was the same symptoms that were present when she had previously been diagnosed with the allergy.<\/p>\n
