Alfie has been on Apoquel since it was released here in UK at the start of February, we had been waiting since way last year.
Alfie has been seeing a vet derm since he was just 5 months, when he went almost completely bald round both hip areas. He seems to be doing ok, he was taking half a pill morning and night for 2 weeks then down to half just once a day. He mostly has to wear PJs to keep him from ripping his skin, he is definitely not scratching anywhere near as much but I have caught him nibbling his sides a few times, so I will probably increase back to twice a day.
Even almost constant steroids don't keep his itching away entirely. Until he started on Apoquel he was taking periton and citerazine (sp?) but usually had to be put right back on prednisone, he also eats RC annallergenic.
