Just thought I would add an update to Pip's recent post under general doggy chat section last week.
First of all, a big thank you from us all - Pip's treatment (dust mite/storage mite allergy) costs a good few pennies and it's wonderful that this organisation exists to enable Pip to get the treatment she needs - fingers crossed she is better soon...
Pip has been in her new forever home since mid September after being in foster with Karen and Neil for around 6 weeks. She has settled really well and is a joy to have around - Millie loves her dearly and their different personalities compliment each other perfectly . They are never far away from each other and enjoy playing or just chilling together. Pip is full of fun and mischief and is so loving despite the aggravation her skin causes her.
Her skin was pretty good when she came to us, she was just finishing a course of steroids and antibiotics that had made a massive difference (along with the love and care from Karen and Neil ) Unfortunately Pip did not respond to Atopica which the vet prescribed as her itching/scratching and subsequent damage caused became worse once steroids were stopped. She is currently having a course of eye drops because her eyes were so sore from the scratching. She has started her immunotherapy and will have her next dose this Wednesday and the hope is that, in time, this will do the trick. She definitely doesn't look her best at the moment but still manages to look cute and is typically labradorable!!
Here's a few pics taken recently (sorry if they're a bit fuzzy) of my two gorgeous girls...
A BIG thankyou from Pip and a little update.....

My Lily also has a dust mite allergy and she has a monthly injection which absolutely does the trick - so here's hoping that Pip will soon be feeling much much better.

It doesn't take long for them to steal your heart does it! They are both lovely and Pip will be even more lovely when her skin is sorted which, I'm sure it will be with your love and care. Thanks for the update and piccys.

Re: A BIG thankyou from Pip and a little update.....
Lovely update and lovely photos you have two beautiful girls. It is difficult having a dog that itches my Maggie has suffered with a similar condition all of her life. She has the odd flair up but on the whole we now know what sets it off and we also know how to treat it and nip things in the bud. Interesting you say Pip is bad at the moment, Maggie always has a flair up this time of year I think it is has something to do with the fungal spores in the air or it could be the heating as both are a change in environment.
Anyway pleased you are enjoying them both they look like they get on brilliantly

So pleased to hear that Pip is loving life with her new best friend Millie, albeit that the itch is still troubling her I've heard of good results being achieved with the immunotherapy, so fingers crossed Pip will soon be feeling much less itchy bless her Great to see pics of her enjoying her new life
