I do still keep clothes on her but not as much as before. sometimes , just a little thermal shirt... sometimes alittle more than that ... an all in one.

the Doctor has cut her dose in half to 1/4 of an apoquel pill a day. he said from what he has read about this ( she , along with a few other dogs, is his first dog he's prescribed to be on Apoquel ), the dog will get itchy in the transition to half the dose, but then , they should get used to it.

so far so good. its been 4 days at the half dose and she's still doing great. ( some itching , some licking... still wears clothes all the time... but HUGE improvement ).

this is like a dream come true for me !!! my little girl is doing so great on this new Med, its just amazing
That is just so great - I'm really happy for you!

It's always something....just like kids!
Still not available here either !
