If he has pustules then he may need to be on an antibiotic again to treat an infection. Atopica can cause side effects in some dogs and if you dog is experiencing negative side effects then you could talk to your vet about switching to a new allergy medication called Apoquel. I have used it on may dogs and it seems to work very well with minimal side effects.

Some OTC antihistamines (diphenhydramine, loratidine, chlorpheniramine, etc.) may provide relief. Prescription drugs, such as Atopica or Apoquel, may be more effective. These last two would need to be dispensed by your veterinarian. Never medicate your pet without the advice of your vet.

Usually steroids are used to treat IBD, together with hypoallergenic diet. Theoretically Atopica can be used as well for refractory cases, but it is not certainly a first line option medication. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Vomiting is a common side effect of Atopica and I'm sorry to hear that Lily isn't feeling well. In most cases, the medication becomes better tolerated over time and the GI upset resolves. As long as Lily is eating, drinking, and otherwise acting normally, you do not need to contact your vet tonight. Call tomorrow if her vomiting continues, but if this is an isolated incident you don't need to be too concerned.

Atopica works most effectively when given on an empty stomach. That said, I have recommended to some patients to initially give it with food until some of the GI upset has resolved, knowing that the medication will not be as effective. Once the GI signs resolve, we then give it on an empty stomach. You should speak with your vet before trying this approach. I hope Lily is able to tolerate her Atopica and feel better soon!
