Replies on Apoquel : Dog Drug With a Dark Side - Homeopath Vet

I’m Verry sorry you have such faith in this drug it’s killing dogs everything is fine until it’s not and it’s to late .

I thought the same way. One injection is all my rescued boy got. At first, I was thrilled to see him get relief so fast. Then shortly after, issues of aggression popped up out of nowhere that he didn't have before he got that poison injection. If my regular vet was available, I'm pretty positive he would have warned me against it, knowing full well my holistic views. I was desperate and made the mistake of not investigating first and now these aggression issues have led to a red line situation that I need to try to reverse. A serious bite with a certain breed of dog will surely lead to being euthanized. I should have known better than to trust any pharmaceutical remedy and if I were given the information that Ivermectin would have fixed the itching, perhaps at a slower rate, I would have never allowed them to give him that injection. I can only pray at this point that this can be fixed, and my sweet boy will not suffer a tragic fate through no fault of his own. If you love your pet, stay away from this poison!

That's what I thought. I had my dog on apoquel for 4 years... A chihuahua, until about yesterday he was beside me at dinner asking me for bits of chicken, and ate them. I heard him squeal at 6 am and took him out he peed and did number two. But the thing is for the past 3 weeks he was down, he didn't want to walk, he would normally show me his belly so I would scratch him most of his life except for the last 3 weeks. We took him to the vet, and she, the same vet that prescribed apoquel because he was very itchy and would scratch himself raw and would draw blood and nothing we tried helped. All his legs were scarred and no hair would grow in those areas. She never explained the risks of this drug, and when she saw him about a week and a half ago and claim his swollen belly was some random symptom but that he would be fine, this afternoon he died. We tried to revive him for half an hour. His belly was hard. Thankfully we had been giving him benadril and it kept him without feeling most of the pain. it was benadril, and I am 100% sure the veterinarian knew that apoquel kills dogs, and she didn't say anything about it to make a buck. They LOVED to call me to make tests on my dogs and "never found anything" and would cost me an arm and a leg... I am taking my other dog off that veterinarian and might even sue them or at least will make sure everyone that goes there knows what kind of veterinarian she is.
