Update on my Trichophyton case... After 2 months on terbinafine, this sweet girl has been doing awesome! First negative DTM and we are going for one more before stopping treatment.
I have had a run of Trichophyton cases and it is so amazing to see how much better they can look with treatment. Remember, Trichophyton comes from rodent and many of these dogs contract the fungus by sticking their faces into rodent holes!
Though it isn’t impossible to avoid allergens... it is rare. The main purpose of allergy testing is to start immunotherapy so we can desensitize pets we know have environmental allergies. Check out all of the things we test for with intradermal allergy testing in our region. It would be VERY difficult to avoid most of these things. Even if that particular allergen is not in their immediate area, pollens can fly for several miles and most of these allergens are microscopic.
Pets can’t live in a sterile bubble... so we are attempting to desensitize their immune system so it quicks overreacting!
