The vet started Stella on Atopica about 1 1/2 months ago and it has made such a difference. You may be able to decrease the dosage after a month or so. At this time we are giving her a tablet every other day and it seems to be working well. Just make sure you follow the dosing instructions (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) She is actually growing hair again where she had scratched or pulled it out.
