Has anyone heard of Apoquel or had any experience with it? My George has allergies and over the years we have tried so many things...from allergy testing and shots to Atopica. The only relief he gets is with Temeril P; but even with it he has issues during the time that clover is out (early spring and later in the summer usually). His testing showed a very high response to clover and sure enough, when it is out he is itching. The interesting thing about the Temeril P is that I swear it has kept his CT controlled because he really is basically asymptomatic except for some occasional coughing at night.

Anyway..........I took him to the vet today for meds. He was developing a skin infection which is usual for him when his conditions are increased. He had a Convenia injection and he also had a steroid injection to control the itching.

My vet suggested I try Apoquel .. it is a new treatment that I had not heard anything about. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet? He is to start it in a few days after I take him off of the Temeril P .. so I have some time to look into it.
