Vet Q & A
Can a breastfeeding dog with skin allergies safely take cyclosporine?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Cyclosporine IS distributed in the milk and there have been no studies proving it's safety for nursing puppies. The drug is not recommended that women nurse their babies while on it. I would call your Vet to discuss an alternative. I wish you the best!

Vet Q & A
Dog itching eyes, snout, chewing paws. What allergy medicine is best?
It sounds like you may need a prescription strength medicine to help your dog become more comfortable. Your vet will need to examine your dog to ensure they are otherwise healthy (and to start a valid client/ patient/ vet relationship to legally dispense medicine) and then will decide which medicine would work best. There are newer products such as Apoquel and Cytopoint which may be appropriate. Your vet may also suggest an eye ointment to apply. You are welcome to request a consultation with one of the Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach veterinarians to prepare for your vet visit.

Vet Q & A
My dog has allergies. Can I get Apoquel without a vet visit?
Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Poor Kylo, that skin looks pretty uncomfortable! Unfortunately in order to prescribe medication we are legally required to have examined the animal to establish a “vet-client-patient relationship” so we cannot call in prescriptions with online consults. You will need to touch base with your regular vet to get Kylo’s medication.

Vet Q & A
My dog has severe allergies. Can he safely take multiple medications?
Fighting secondary skin infections and allergies is tough. Drugs like prednisone and Apoquel are used to control inflammation. In some cases, we add a drug in an effort to taper prednisone if long term immunosuppression is needed. Ideally, long term immunosuppressives should be avoided but in some cases are needed. You should consider discussing referral to a veterinary dermatologist for intradermal skin testing.

Vet Q & A
Can my dog safely take Apoquel while using cyclosporine eye drops?
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jersey. I do not believe it would be a problem from him be on topical cyclosporine eye drops while taking Apoquel. The eye drops would have minimal, if any, systemic absorption. I do not currently have a patient of mine on both medications, but would be willing to prescribe them together. However, if you still have concerns you can call Zoetis, the manufacturer of Apoquel. I hope this information helps!
