I am very sorry to hear your dog has swollen lymph nodes. My dog was on Apoquel for only 10 months and it stopped the itching BUT he developed tumours, swollen lymph nodes and was diagnosed with Lymphoma. He was given 21 days to live. The vet put him on steroids which helped and he was on a raw diet for the last year of his life. I had him euthanized 3 months later as he was in pain. He was only 2 weeks shy of his 10th birthday. I hate the vet for not advising me of the side effects of an immune suppressing drug. I researched the drug trial papers online and couldn't believe my eyes. Vets should not be prescribing this drug at all.
