More Information
Ingredients

The active substance in Apoquel, oclacitinib, is an immunomodulator (a medicine that changes the activity of the immune system) that works by blocking the action of enzymes known as Janus kinases.

These enzymes play an important role in the processes of inflammation and itchiness including those involved in allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in dogs.

By blocking the enzymes, Apoquel reduces the inflammation and itchiness associated with the disease.

Precautions  Apoquel is not for use in breeding dogs, or pregnant or lactating females.

Dogs taking Apoquel should be monitored for the development of infections.

 

Pets that itch and scratch and have ear and/or skin disease, are some of the most challenging cases for vets to deal with.

Ear canals are covered with skin all the way down, so ear disease really is skin disease, and has all the same causes. Potential causes can include one or several of

: Food allergies. To one or more components of their diet.

Environmental allergens (eg pollens, house dust mites). This is called Atopic Dermatitis.

Parasites – fleas and mites are common (especially demodex mites in our area). Flea bite allergies are common.

Mosquito bite dermatitis 

Contact allergies – from the skin directly contacting allergens, such as textiles, grasses and various plants (wandering jew is a common problem)

Autoimmune disorders – where the animal’s immune system starts attacking its own skin

Various different types of skin cancers (including some which may have spread to the skin from elsewhere).

Fungal infections (eg ringworm)

Internal disease can manifest as skin problems also, so your skin consultation will involve a full checkover
