As I said, in Feb.2020 after being off
Cytopoint for 11 months he wasn't scratching at all until I transitioned him to a new kibble, then he was scratching every part of his body. If I were you, I would try the Cytopoint again giving Chewie shots every 4 weeks faithfully with no skipped months.
If you have this allergy testing in place follow through with it, see what they find.
Please let us know what this allergy testing shows. |
Oh, I'm sorry I must have not been clear. I'll come back to say more, but wanted to tell you this at least really quickly. I didn't skip her at all. She had it faithfully every 5 weeks for a year and a half. It was the apoquel that I gave her for breakthrough medication, but only twice. I truly meant to say that It's so sad that the food made him itch like that. Chewie itches, and it's clearly unpleasant for her, but no where NEAR Cody, and knowing how chewie suffers with the itching and nasty nausea (we are talking gulping and licking my leg many times a day) I can only imagine what Cody is going through. The vet was telling me that clearly something needed to be done, as she had her yearly before the affects of the cytopoint should have worn off. :/. He was with her as it's closed for people to come in while on the phone with me, and he was noting her scooting (and her glands were fine, too, they checked) and itching. I Hope I was at least a bit more clear. I truly did give her the shots faithfully.
