I live in a 600 square foot house with my parents and my mother's 7 dogs. The dogs frequently urinate and defecate inside the house, and my mother has placed 'dog-toilet papers' all over, including in front of the back door. I've recently given birth to a baby boy and am concerned about the health effects of the ammonia from the dogs' urine and feces, how long odors can persist in wood, and whether my baby could develop asthma, pneumonia, or bronchitis. Additionally, I am a single parent attending university with limited financial resources, and my mother has previously threatened suicide when asked to remove the dogs.
