Well i am back from the vets, he was slightly better but not by much, the two nurses both said dont worrys as one of their dogs is the same and they see a lot of dogs like that in there.

Lottie,
What is Immunotherapy?
An Immunotherapy treatment extract is specifically formulated based on the results of your dog's allergy test and history. Immunotherapy is a treatment that involves injecting your dog in increasing amounts and concentrations, with the allergens (pollens, fungi, moulds, dust, dust mites) identified as causing the allergic skin disease.

Injections begin with a very low concentration of the extract, gradually increasing over a period of time until a maximum concentration ("maintenance" dose) is achieved.
By injecting allergens in this way. 80-85% of dogs experience a lowering of sensitivity to the allergens and a decrease in symptoms. This is the safest way to control the clinical signs of allergy in your dog.


Star is a dust allergy that caused a build up of puss on his lungs. It is nearly year since the first symtoms. it took a few months for stars jabs to be formulated. The vet said the type Star has is rare, he had only seen 4 cases in 15 years as a vet but immunotherapy has worked in 3 of those. So heres hoping it works for star.
