Apoquel

- Direct-to-consumer advertising finally reached the dog prescription arena suggesting pet owners should treat their itchy pets with Apoquel. Apoquel, initially FDA approved for canine atopic dermatitis and itch from allergic dermatitis, might not be appropriate for all pet dogs.
Unfortunately medical advertising heightens interest in treatments that may be inappropriate and not well suited to the underlying issue. As in humans, itching in dogs is not a specific disease; it is indicative of any of a large number of maladies. Apoquel is only appropriate in specific instances of sufficiently severe atopic or allergic dermatitis.
As with humans, the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis may not be straight forward. The guidelines for diagnosis remain somewhat nebulous and the range of disease severity varies considerably. Side effects include cancer with a fair number of pets being diagnosed with or suspected of developing cancer while on therapy. Many of these pets were euthanized.
Apoquel is a JAK inhibitor. It interferes with the body’s immune system and may lead to significant complications for some dogs. While the company advertises the safety of their product, it falls into the same category of drugs as Xeljanz, Rinvoq and Olumiant. These drugs target rheumatoid arthritis and are being investigated for a number of different diseases where an overactive immune system is at fault. The FDA mandates special Black Box Warnings regarding complications.
By the way, if you accidently touch you eyes before washing your hands after giving the medicine to your pet - the package insert suggest rinsing your eye for at least 15 minutes and seeking medical care. And if you accidently swallow the pill - call the doctor or poison control.

5:40 is where you need to hear
DO NOT give to your dog if they have ANY type of tumor, benign or malignant. You have been warned.
i had my dog on this for a month and had a bad feeling about it when he started to have some bad side effects. I started to do my own research. Please do your own research its out there and you can find it. A few days after stopping this medication he was eating again and acting like himself. This is just my opinion but I know we all love our furbabies.
If the FDA read all the reports about the lethal side effects, why did they approve this dangerous drug?
Someone got paid off by the drug company. My opinion.
The pharmaceutical companies have a lot of clout with the FDA
Thank you doctor
My sons dog was on this a few months then developed a tumor. Had surgery to remove tumor and Dr. Informed them yesterday that the dog bone cancer and had 4 months to live. He is a 1 year 4 month old choc lab.
Beyond sad.
God :-(
found out 6 days ago my 3 year old frenchie has lymphoma. she was on apoquel for 3 months and thats when it started.
@@jacco053 I’m sorry, :-( I took my shiba off this medication after the first week.
@@treedeblue i got her oncaspar treatment now the vet told me there been dogs that lived for over a year cancer free. but its exspensive so i started a gofundme in the hope people are willing to help me. But no succes so far.
Thank you , I will do more research but also try other life changes before delving into a medicated therapy
My dog’s allergies are seasonal and are the result of pollen. My vet had her on Apoquel which stopped working and then tried an injection of Cytopoint which did work. One injection was over $100 and he wanted to do it monthly. I turned that offer down. A holistic vet suggested 1/2 tsp of nettle leaves (I grind it into a powder) daily and honey. I give my dog a capsule twice a day of quercetin with bromelain. Since I have allergies and asthma I started using both for myself. I just started with the honey and nettle so I can’t say if it’s working but I will try anything other than pharmaceuticals on my dog
Thank you great video
Doctor, I read somewhere that Apoquel is Vioxx or Celebrex renamed. Is this true? And if so, why give it to pets knowing it was very harmful for humans?
Nice information doc , this was one year before, now after one year can you tell us about Long term effect of the drug
Many times dogs or cats get mites that u can’t see cause they burrow under the skin. U want to get rid of the mite that causes the itch!! Just to treat the itch is preposterous in that case!! Dogs get mange from mites eating their hair follicles!! Treat the mite, not the itch.
Yes, I took my itchy dog to vets, query field mites, was given Apoquil without an explanation as to what it was. No information leaflet in box so I googled it and now horrified it's an immune-suppressant! My dog is old, but with lots of benign lumps. I'm now worried it will have triggered a cancer.
Very interesting. My dog started on this about 2 months ago. He’s better , but still chews and licks his paws. He was treated for yeast infection.
You won't have to worry because this drug will shortly kill your dog.
@@smilemor-phony5964 based on what information?
He's better? doesn't sound like it
useful
Pesticide based control flea methods can cause rash, itching, skin disorders because of the toxicity of the insecticide running in the bloodstream of the dog.
PLEASE RESEARCH this medicine prior to giving it to your beloved pets! It killed our dog!
I was presented this as an alternative , I will do more research currently we are on Cytopoint (injections)
What did you find ?
and I thought this drug was a sister drug of serequel!!!???
Does your dog have allergies? Has your conventional veterinarian offered you a popular allergy drug called Apoquel®?
It’s touted as being “a fast-acting and safe treatment for the control of acute and chronic canine pruritus.”
Pruritus means itching. When your dog is itchy, you get desperate to make him feel more comfortable. Nobody wants to be itchy and constantly scratching.
Apoquel can ease your dog’s itching in as little as 4 to 24 hours. And dog owners do say it relieves their dogs’ itching.
Sounds like something you might want to try, right?
Well, not so fast …
Before you expose your dog to the risks of this drug … you need to read on.
If your dog is currently on Apoquel … you will probably rethink your options by the end of this post.
Why? Well, let me share why I would never give my dog this allergy drug.
Apoquel demolishes essential parts of your dog’s internal disease-fighting systems.
Let me tell you more … so you can keep your dog itch-free and safe.
ATOPICA????????? Have you done a video or will you do a video on ATOPICA ??????
This drug DOES NOT HEAL!!!!!!!
Horrendous medication......DO YOUR RESEARCH please before you go down the apoquel route
Do you know if cytopoint is any better????
We had to out down our 6 year old Cuban Havenese after being on this drug. He developed massive tumors in his gums
@@AB-NJ that’s horrible, do think cytopoint is any better?
Change your dogs food - stop the crap kibble/ & tinned - feed fresh cooked food - allergy & itching gone!
