I guess the next question I must ask,, is,, has anyone on the forum had any experiance with the imuno therapy,, if so did it compleatly clear the problem or just reduce it?

thanks shona will ask if galloway and mc leod have it will let you no

Hi Shona, although my dog has had the tests he has not had the immunotherapy has in his case the skin as too much damage and the vet does not think it will help. He was on oral immune suppressants for 9mths and was doing well with a period of 3mths without when the stress of a dog attack on him as triggered the condition again. He first started at the age of 2, and was originaly treated for 6mths for mites, hence the damage to his skin, and certain areas ie hocks and elbows they dont believe the fur will ever grow back, he also has reacurrent ear infections, but is allergic to ear cleaners I use cooled boiled salt water as this does not make them sore but he needs to have them cleaned every other day, he is also bathed regular with malesab shampoo.

hi thanks for info cody my bitch has problems with ears we use malacetic otic ear cleaner made by dermapet it has nothing in it that can harm them worth a try we clean ears every 2nd day they are fine now keep using hope this helps

Thanks for that will look for it do you buy it from a veterinary pharmacist?

I was discussing immunotherapy with the vet when Finn got his tests. From what I can remember it is about 70/80% (approx) successful.

One of Finn's allergens is airborne so I found that an air purifier helps a lot especially in the room he sleeps in.

yes you can buy from vet but pretty costly. you can buy from web amazon.com derma pet cheaper hope this helps you let me know how you get on

I had mentioned this to Maureen on the phone, one of the girls who trained her boxers at my club used them {her daughter had problems and she said they helped no end,, hers looked quite smart,,,

Hi Maureen, checked out the online vet pharmacy and its £6.56 does that seem about right.
