Does anyone use it and have you seen any side effects?
My Parson Russell chewed her paws constantly and made them really sore. Apoquel sorted the problem in a day but after doing some research after noticing her doing some chewing again Apoquel has some disturbing side effects as it suppresses the immune system. Also she should have been blood tested before starting the drug and after 6 months. Cancer, polydypsia, interdigital cysts and weight gain are but a few of the side effects. Laska certainly has the weight gain, she's square!I
I will do more research and talk with my vet before taking her off the drug, I then have to find an alternative treatment.
