 Allergies and apoquel plus lymphangectasia
My derm vet said this drug does not work for all dogs. Olivia still scratches and bites her paws but not as much since starting the apoquel. My derm said it is a win if she is mildly itchy with no skin infections. Also, did you try a food trial for food allergies? Sometimes it is a food and environmental allergy. Olivia eats Purina HA right now. There are many Prescription dog foods out there. I did the home cooked diet but that did not help much either. My little girl is allergic to all trees and grass. I asked derm if I should keep her off the grass. He told me to wipe her paws when she comes inside. It is a cycle of allergy, scratching, infection. Could your dog have a bacterial or yeast infection that continues to cause problems? If so, get that under control and then maybe the apoquel will work better. This is so frustrating, I know. We all want to help our babies to feel better.
I also have a 12 year old yorkie named Abigail with lymphangectasia. An allergy to food that damages the intestines. We see a vet nutritionist and internal medicine vet. She eats crab and sweet potato with many supplements. I am looking to talk to anyone that has battled this disease with their dog. |
