Update on allergies. After being on Apoquel for 6 months full dose and changing foods several times....she showed marked improvement in mid February after 2 months on the Salmon and Pea from Sam's club so I cut her back to 8mg of Apoquel. as she continued improving in Mid March cut it to 8mg every other day. First of April weaned completely to just the new dog food. all hair has regrown in the itch spots and the strong smell created by yeast I guess has disappeared. Normally happy dog and owner again. Watching for a flare-up.but hoping all along it was a food allergy and that changing that protein source is what she needed.
