greysmom Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hope you've got things under control by now! We started Lilly on Apoquel yesterday evening for some generic itchiness and red ears, thighs, and butt. Within about 45 minutes she was no longer licking and biting at herself. I'm now considering it a miracle drug! Hope Violet has as good a result.

NeylasMom Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Feel better sweet girl... That was for Violet.....but you too Jen! Chris, that's what the vet said - 30 min to an hr to kick in. He said we'd know within a few hrs whether it was allergies or not because it would clear up quickly, which was why I've still been a bit worried, but I think she looks a bit better now than a few hrs ago so hopefully it's just taking a bit longer than expected to clear up. Glad the Apoquel has worked so well for you. I had heard good things but this is my first experience with it.

NeylasMom Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Oh yeah, just got up from our nap so I could look at her straight on rather than with her laying on top of me. She looks *much* better than even when I got home today. I'm supposed to keep her on the Apoquel for the full 5 days and I think I'll give her Deramaxx again tonight to be safe, but hopefully we're over the hump.

Dawnnziggy Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Ziggy has bad allergies. When they act up, he swells up just like that! It gets really red and swollen. He can't leave it alone and will bite and bleed. I wish you could give her Benedryl. That helps Ziggy so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3greytjoys Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Glad she's looking and feeling better. I was hoping you'd check her gum color periodically. Relieved that's better. The bones are a little red flag since there have been news reports of too many mean people leaving bad things for dogs around our region. Continued healing thoughts for Violet (and that it's not an abscess, inner lip critter bite, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Tbanks. The bone today was just from trash. Unfortunately we come across those far tip often. And the other bits of bone the other 2 days were from her raw food. So nothing too nefarious, just concerning that her stomach may be a bit upset. Face is still not swollen though, woo hoo.
