Presley is an absolute star! For over seven years he has suffered from Canine Atopic Dermatitis and has been bravely coming in to the surgery month after month for repeat immunotherapy injections. These help significantly reduce his inherited predisposition to develop allergic symptoms following repeated exposure to some otherwise harmless substances. In Presley’s case the “allergens” to which he is sensitive are dust and storage mites. Presley still suffers occasional lapses in effective control when he may rub, lick, chew, bite or scratch his skin and need additional medicinal assistance such as anti-histamines to control these flare-ups. Overall however the desensitisation achieved by these regular immunotherapy injections have been a great help to him.
