There is not a problem giving Apoquel at the same time as Lasix and benazepril. While long term usage of Apoquel can suppress the immune system in my opinion there wouldn't be any increased risk for immune suppression with concurrent heart disease. It would be a good idea to address these concerns with your vet as well.
