My girlfriend is a cat and dog lover, she wanted to work in a veterinary clinic where she lives.She seemed very happy at first, she is in the office area but still lives with the animals, however, my happiness for her diminished when I realized that her health began to deteriorate.

  1. Since she started working there, due to the chlorine cleaning at the establishment and other things, her eyes have become extremely irritated, and she had swollen, watery eyes for three weeks.Nowadays, they don't get so irritated anymore, but they always get watery out of nowhere, and she has to dry them all the time.

  2. She turns around frequently now, her nose is always stuffy or sensitive, I assume from pet hair. At first she thought it was a fever, but the medicine didn't help, and even though they clean there often, her boss comes with her pets and they tend to be in the office all the time,and my girlfriend can't resist caressing them.

  3. Nausea, no need to explain why, it's incredible that a 'cleaned' place can often smell so bad quickly, I say this because I picked her up once and upon entering I felt that the smell almost made me faint.

I know my girlfriend is afraid because she doesn't want to look bad in front of her colleagues or her boss. Recently, one of her colleagues, who was also new, left for the reasons I mentioned.I told her family about this, her father supported me, but her stepmother said that this was normal in jobs and she had to put up with it, that's what she has to do.This bothered me a lot, but I didn't want to argue with that woman again. Now my girlfriend is taking a short vacation, it will only be for a week.

AITA if I advised her to quit her job? I should mention that I do not speak English, in case my writing is strange or has errors.
