One more thing... regarding Apoquel....
My sister told me about Apoquel for my dog, since it had done wonders for her 12 yr old lab who has been suffering with all types of allergies for years, and after trying one thing after another... skin-type, foot, and all sorts of allergies... I think she had been on it for only several months.
When she told me about the great results for her girl, I started my lab on it a month and 1/2 ago, but stopped just a few days ago because I am breeding her. Well, I got a text from my sis this morning... her dog was fine yesterday afternoon.. began vomiting last night, bleeding from her rectum and has a 104 temp. They have her on whatever life-support needed, testing her for cancer, etc...my poor sis is at her wits end...afraid she will lose her best friend! Could Apoquel have compromised her liver, or something that could over time cause symptoms like these? It happened literally overnight!!
I won't be restarting it... Way too dangerous, it seems, as I've read here... not enough study done... I'm afraid our sweet pets are the real test samples!
