Sounds like it may be worth it for him. 
I think Atopica is a good drug, but there is way too much talk about compromised immune system and cancer surrounding it.  Since it can lead to the development of cancer, it really would concern me long term. |
yes this is why i stopped the atopica because of the big C along with her vomitting as she was on both steroids and atopica so two drugs was another reason.
My vet told me he had an owner who had a bull dog with allergies and the dog was on cyclosporine same as atopica but generic and he got cancer. Then she got another bulldog and it had allergies and it was on cyclosporine and got cancer. He said I do not know if it was just coincidence or not but he wanted me to be aware of this when i started dee dee on atopica. It was always on my mind and since it did not work real well for her I just said forget it.
If it had worked alone without steroids though I might have just kept going with it and taken the risk of cancer though as steroids have their issues too
NO drug goes without risks sadly
