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.

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. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

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.

Poor Rosie! If you are talking about anal furunculosis then yes these supplements could helps. Some people believe that German shepherds that have AF may also have other GI issues. You could also put her on a multi-vitamin long term to help keep her immune system strong. Finally, I would make sure you all don’t quickly take her off atopica. I would make the tapering process VERY slow and monitor her closely. You may find that she can’t come off of it completely right now which is okay. She may just need more time on the medicine. I hope this helps!
