What are good alternatives to Cytopoint for my dog's itching?

I believe you are talking about an injection called Cytopoint. It does a great job of stopping pets from itching and 1 injection lasts for 30 days. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear that side of Point has that helped your pet. In most cases it does help. Unfortunately it's not a miracle injection for All Pets As far as it working and every single case. I will talk to your veterinarian about other options for allergies. Apoquel is a good one to try as well if you haven't tried that. If you have any more specific information or questions please feel free to open a consultation

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! While apoquel is a great drug to stop scratching and to help atopic dermatitis it doesn't do anything in the face of a skin infection. Coco should be checked to see if she now has a yeast and or bacterial skin infection. There is also the option of doing an injection for scratching called cytopoint, which lasts 30-60 days (dog dependent). I would also consider adding Omega 3 fish oils and changing her diet to a non-chicken based novel protein diet (try venison, lamb, fish). Claritin, benadryl and zyrtec can be sued in dogs, see links below: https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/claritin/ https://www.vrshealth.com/canine-products/omegadog/ https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15235

Hello, thank you for your question about Honey. Based on the symptoms that you describe it seems that Honey has pretty significant allergies. Another treatment option that you can discuss with your veterinarian is use of a relatively new product called Cytopoint. This is an injectable medication given by your veterinarian that helps to treat severe allergic dermatitis. Many owners report that this medication has helped dramatically. Another option would be to schedule an appointment with a veterinary dermatologist for further evaluation of her skin disease and to discuss more extensive treatment options. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hello. Honestly, I recommend either Nordic Naturals or Bayer Free Form Snip Tips. Both of these are highly recommended by veterinary dermatologists, too. You will need to call other veterinarians to see who carries Cytopoint. It is an excellent product & most of my clients love the convenience of only needing a simple injection once ever 6-8 weeks to control their pet's allergies.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! From your pictures it looks like Mollie has either a bacterial or yeast skin infection. The cytopoint works great for scratching but will not work in the face of an infection. I do agree that Mollie and any animal with allergies should be on a monthly flea preventative. I like Bravecto, Nexgard, Simparica, Seresto collar or Advantix II. As a repellent I would choose the Seresto collar or Advantix II as they flea should die before biting Mollie. I would also add in an Omega 3 fish oil and an antihistamine like Zyrtec or Claritin to your treatment plan. I like that you are using the cytopoint and Royal Canin HP. Good luck!

I would recommend getting some blood work on Precious and see if there is something system causing this like hypothyroidism or cushings disease. If everything is normal then I would recommend try Apoquel, which is a daily medication for allergies or Cytopoint which is a monthly injection for allergies. I would call your veterinarian to discuss these options with them. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
