re: Expensive dog allergy medicine Apoquel

I had this issue with a dog I adopted. He has since grew out of them thankfully but we did cytopoint injections. They would last 4-6 months for my dog even though it’s labeled as a monthly injection and were like 150 a shot or so for a lab sized dog. Essentially when I noticed my dog itching again I would go back for another shot. My dog was so bad he lost a lot of his hair and was covered in scabs from scratching/biting. Would recommend asking about it. I’ve read apoquel has killed some dogs and that cytopoint is safer but I don’t know how true that is or if it can be attributable to the drug itself.
