I have heard of absolutely no negative effects of cytopoint which is why many people prefer to use it. I am part of a vet group and they have been asked many questions about cytopoint and never have any of the answers said anything bad and they all say none of their patients have had any side effects. The thing is most dogs end up have some other illness and the owner doesn't catch it and it is caused by something else but they choose to blame whatever they can.
I will say this on apoquel. I feel extremely good that it caused Callie's Cushings. Can I fully prove this no because I didn't want to do a necropsy. See Callie took it for a very long time and apoquel keeps the body from reacting to any kind of lumps or tumors that the body would normally fight off and keep from turning into something more. Well Cushings is a tumor on the Pituitary or Adrenal gland and had one of these tumors been developing in a normal dog their body in most would fight it off and keep it from becoming something but a dog on apoquel will not do that so tada you have a tumor and that causes Cushings.
Personally I think Cytopoint is the best allergy medicine out there. I have no issues using it and if it didn't work I wouldn't allow my dog to suffer I would still use apoquil as a last ditch effort.
