Allergic to Dogs? - discussion board

	Allergic to Dogs? - discussion board Welcome! This board is for sharing information, experiences, suggestions, and questions among pet allergy sufferers (people allergic to dogs). It is not intended to replace advice from medical professionals. Always contact your own allergy specialist for the diagnosis and treatment of your allergies! There is NO "non-allergic" (no allergy causing) dog breed! All dogs produce dander, saliva, and urine that people can be allergic to. However, some dog breeds supposedly produce less dander than others. These breeds are often referred to as being "hypo-allergenic" (LESS LIKELY to cause an allergic reaction) or "allergy friendly". Read more. For more allergy messages, visit the "Allergic to Dogs?" bb archives. You can switch between two different board styles by clicking on the "switch to threaded style" or "switch to board style" link. I like the board style because it puts the latest messages on the top. Please, use descriptive subject lines.

Son's Allergies to Dogs

My son was diagnosed with mild allergy to dogs and allergy-triggered asthma when he was 2. We have a poodle. His only symptoms were congestion and shiners around his eyes. He sometimes coughed in t he moning but rarely at night. We rarely nebulize or use albuterol. At 3.5 years (today) he was retested and his allergies are much worse but symptoms are basically the same. The MD has decided to put him on sublingual immunotherapy plus meds for the next sicx mos and then we'll see. i feel like his allergy can't be any worse after the meds. However, he did have his very first allergy attack tonight (very scary) and i thnk it was from the dog mx test. Obviously he is not so allergic to the poodle. Has anyone has success with SLIT therapy? I am trying to be hopeful.
