I draw up a 5 lb dose even though she is about 7.5 lbs. We are able to use a more minimal dose this way and have never reached her full dose to keep her allergies at bay. I too am curious about apoquel but am afraid to try it (if it ain't broke don't fix it).
I'm going to ask my vet about this bc it would give Marcel a more custom dose. Geesh, you're like my medication sensei lately...first the allerderm, now the Atopica . I should think of other questions/needs I may have .

I'm really curious about the Apoquel...when some pollens are off the charts here, we have some breakthrough symptoms for Marcel...a little paw licking/chewing. It's not *bad*, but it does make me wonder if Apoquel is worth a try.
