Replies on Cytopoint Injection: High Tech Answer to Itchy Dogs?

We rescued a puppy who had allergies since she was 2 months old. We tried switching foods, Benadryl, steroids... nothing worked. She had scabs everywhere, kept us up all night... our vet suggested that we wipe her down with a wet paper towel a couple times per day! We found a new vet who suggested Cytopoint so we tried it. Within a couple of hours she stopped scratching!! The first dose lasted a couple of weeks, we’re on our fourth injection lasting about 8 weeks. We didn’t know what else to do! I’m afraid of long term consequences but she had absolutely no quality of life.

Hi Will,
So so grateful for your information. I’ve spent the last two years of my sick life researching everything I could to get myself healthy. Of course I also learned how bad vaccines are. So then I finally realize I should be looking into the proper vaccines for a dog. So sad to read that there are so many that I’ve given her and her five years of life, And it’s extremely upsetting. My dog started biting her paws at a time when I was very sick with numerous auto immune diseases myself. I believed she was just having stress because of my illness. I told the vet and of course they said well you can do allergy testing for $600. They said you don’t want your dog to suffer.So I got the allergy test, and according to Elisa labs, my dog is allergic to every form of beef chicken turkey lamb grains etc. so I cut out all those foods from her diet and I put her on an organic raw diet. And then all of a sudden my dog developed profuse itching in her ears and she had hives all inside of her ears within a matter of one day. I took her to the vet Who told me her ears are not an infection it’s an allergy. However they treated it with three horrible drugs at all and with some of the same drugs that I was put on that I am suffering from. So then they told me to take Ap Who told me her ears are not an infection it’s an allergy. However they treated it with three horrible drugs but all ends with some of the same drugs that I was put on that I am suffering from. So then they told me to give her apoquel!! That seem to change her. She was having more loose stool and just was constantly sleeping and still itching. So I was pretty leery about that drug and I stopped it. When I went to the vet again, they said there’s a new drug out and solely goes right to the allergies , Not throughout your whole body like some of the biologic drugs I have to take. This Vet knows that I have Crohn’s disease, but I’m not wealthy by any means and that I did not like giving my dog any meds. Sadly she was scratching so bad and seemed like she was suffering So I stood there in disbelief as to what to do. The insisted it was totally safe and works so well. So I let her give my dog and injection. Not realizing that I would have to come once a month and get them for the rest of her life which I cannot afford and of course which the dog insurance won’t cover because I have a stupid allergy testing done The insisted it was totally safe and works so well. So I let her give my dog and injection. Not realizing that I would have to come once a month and get them for the rest of her life which I cannot afford and of course which the dog insurance won’t cover because I have a stupid allergy testing done. Just prior to my getting dog insurance. Really not fair because I never treated her with any medications. All I did was adjust her diet. And it seemed to help for a year before I did that at the apoquel and Cytopoint. While there they wanted to give her all these vaccines. I had read that you can just get titers done to make sure they were still good and don’t need another vaccine. She told me it would cost $100 whereas the vaccine was $60. When I went to check out the titer test was $275, that is when I started crying . So then they were trying to push the vaccine on me by saying well it’s going to be cheaper if you do the vaccine so just do the vaccine. PS she didn’t need the vaccine she doesn’t need those vaccines at all now that I’ve read up on it. So frustrated with myself because here I am thinking I’m spending so much money on dog food to keep her healthy and alive longer. Yet they’ve been poisoning Her since day one! Then I looked back at all of my receipts and I see another time where they randomly gave her all these antibiotics in her ear but she never had any ear infections?? I met another woman at the same vet her since day one! Then I looked back at all of my receipts and I see another time where they randomly gave her all these antibiotics and her ear but she never had any ear infections?? I met another woman at the same vet Who told me some horror stories about the vet and the people I got my dog from. I don’t know what to do right now. The cytopoint worked very well. She was almost itch free Up until a few days ago, and of course our next appointment for a shot is this Friday. Oh, when the vet gave her the cytopoint injection, She then said oh but you’re going to need the app a quail all month because it takes a while for it to work. Cha Ching another $120!!!! So now my poor little dog is going to be in the same pharmaceutical circle of hell for the rest of her life, because of greedy monsters!!!! My appointment is in two days and I don’t know what to do? Please please please somebody give me some advice. I don’t even know if those red irritated spots in her ears were truly an allergy problem? I truly can’t afford to give her this medicine. But I can’t stand to see her suffer either. Are they truly suffering? She originally was only biting her paws no red marks no red belly.. But now she’s going nuts scratching on her ears again. I won’t give her that drug because obviously it can cause Crohn’s disease, and I’m 54 and my life has been ruined because of it. Probably more likely ruined by the medicine I was given. I keep getting new diagnoses for myself from the medication I was given and I can barely deal with getting through the day. My dog is my only happy thing In my life. I do not know what to do to help her. Please somebody give me some advice. I cannot figure out how these monaters can live with themselves.

My fur baby just got her first injection of this yesterday! :( Of course no one explained any side effects. I don't know what to do after adding this! Bella has suffered tremendously with her allergies for 6 years.. 6 LONG years for her.. We have spent $1000s on vet bills, trying to get her some help. She literally chews herself bloody, and the still won't stop. She has been put on prednisone , Apoquel, allergy shots ( even though they never seemed to know exactly what she is allergic to), and now this. We have had to have both her ears quilted because when her allergies flare up to an unusual point, she dug her ears and burst her veins. The pain fallout of that for her was incredible too.. LOTS of pain.. and yet they said thats the only way to fix her ears. We have bought expensive foods, a whole host of shampoos, iodine, you name it.. NOTHING works. I am desperate to ease her pain, but did I just put her on the path to dying by this shot? :(

I have been giving quercitin with bromelain along with golden paste and going to switch to this product...
