Itch and inflammation are terms that are often used in allergies. However, it is important to consider how the various allergy medications affect each of these aspects of management. There are so many different presentations of allergies and no one-size-fits-all protocol. Knowing when you may need a drug more anti-inflammatory and not just anti-itch is important!

There have been so many wonderful tools added to our management of allergic dermatitis in dogs over the last decade. Apoquel, Cytopoint and Zenrelia have all been medications that provide quick itch relief with a more targeted approach. However, the use of cyclosporine as an option (except for cats where it is prescribed more frequently) has dwindled. Though these new tools have revolutionized our field, allergic dermatitis is complicated and there are still some cases that respond better to cyclosporine. So, when should you consider reaching cyclosporine in allergic management? Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast to find out!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro00:25 Cyclosporine02:27 Why choose Cyclosporine for Dogs with allergies08:44 Weird Issues with Cyclosporine11:55 Cats and Cyclosporine13:36 What's available in the U.S. for Cyclosporine  15:26 Other forms of Cyclosporine18:53 Summary

Luckily, veterinarians have an arsenal of medications available to treat dermatology conditions in their patients, including Apoquel (oclacitinib) for immediate itch relief during allergy flares, Cytopoint (lokivetmab) for dogs with difficulty taking pills or when needing longer-lasting itch control, and cyclosporine for more severe cases that require a stronger immunosuppressive response. In this VetFolio Voice podcast episode, Dr. Cassi and Dr. Watson explore the use of these drugs in managing dermatology cases. You'll learn when cyclosporine is most likely to be helpful and how to dose it — in particular, starting with a low dose and adjusting the dose up, giving with food to reduce GI upset, and giving with ketoconazole to help lower the dose of cyclosporine needed. You'll also get insights into potential side effects and how to address them. Dr. Cassi and Dr. Watson take a look at the role of diet, allergy testing and immunotherapy in managing these cases, as well as emphasize the importance of referral in veterinary dermatology and the importance of early referral for successful management of these cases. e sure to log into VetFolio and take the quiz to qualify for your CE credit! https://www.vetfolio.com/courses/stop-snoring-on-cyclosporine-podcast-quiz

Dog allergies manifest in various ways, such as itching, redness, and swelling, making finding the best medicine for our dog and cat's allergies crucial. Medications like Apoquel and Cytopoint are often recommended by veterinarians for their effectiveness in providing relief but are they really that effective, or are they potentially harmful? Many pet owners seek natural remedies for dog allergies, including herbal remedies, holistic treatments, and home remedies. Holistic remedies for dog allergies and natural dog allergy relief options, such as CBD oil, can offer gentle, yet effective support. Exploring natural treatments for dog allergies can provide a holistic approach to maintaining your pet's health and well-being. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Vasculitis is a disease that can encompass many different presentations. Usually end-points (pinnal tips, claws, tail tips, etc.) are affected due to lack of collateral circulation. Though pentoxifylline is the mainstay treatment traditionally, there are other options that are sometimes needed. This includes the off-label use of a common allergy medication.

I am starting a new podcast episode type called: DERM DEBUNK. These are the "facts" I hear thrown around often. Some may not be true at all... some may be partially true. But (similar to any aspect of medicine) blanket statements can be really tough! First derm debunk episode, "Apoquel can't treat otitis."There are so many varying degrees of otitis... Find out my thoughts on this week's episode of the podcast. 

A common canine presentation in vet practice, many skin diseases can cause pruritus, and differentials include infection, ectoparasites and hypersensitivity – increasingly to food. Discussing some of this, RCVS and European Board of Veterinary Specialisation-recognised specialist in veterinary dermatology Carly Mason joins this Vet Times Podcast. _________________________________

A very common history we receive from owners... "Apoquel used to work great! But now it doesn't control my dog's itch." Do dogs really become immune to Apoquel or other anti-itch drugs? Or could there be other reasons itch fails to be controlled by the medication over time?Find out the top 3 reasons we can see anti-itch medications stop working in an allergic dog on this week's episode of the podcast.

In today's busy veterinary practices it can be difficult to find time to complete a full dermatology diagnostic workup. This podcast will discuss when it is appropriate to complete an abbreviated version of the workup and when the full workup is necessary. Additionally, optimizing patient comfort with Apoquel and Cytopoint will be discussed.

Welcome Valerie Fadok, DVM, PhD, DACVD to the podcast to discuss canine allergic and atopic dermatitis! She is a senior veterinary dermatologist with Zoetis.We've come a long way in our ability to manage allergic skin diseases in dogs. Due to our increased knowledge based on research, there are better therapeutics available. We have learned that several Type 2 cytokines such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, and IL-31 are major players in mediating allergic pruritus and inflammation.  These cytokines mediate their action through Janus kinase-1 and appear early in the allergic inflammation cascade. It is so important with the management of allergic and atopic dogs that we continue to have studies showing the effect of therapies on itch and inflammation. Check out this episode of the podcast to learn more!This podcast was sponsored by Zoetis. Zoetis is dedicated to changing the way we approach canine pruritus to protect the bonds between the pet, the owner and the veterinary team. Visit ScienceofStrongerBonds.com for more information.APOQUEL-IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONDo not use Apoquel in dogs less than 12 months of age or those with serious infections. Apoquel may increase the chances of developing serious infections, and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to get worse. Consider the risks and benefits of treatment in dogs with a history of recurrence of these conditions.  New neoplastic conditions (benign and malignant) were observed in clinical studies and post-approval.  Apoquel has not been tested in dogs receiving some medications including some commonly used to treat skin conditions such as corticosteroids and cyclosporines. Do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. Most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. Apoquel has been used safely with many common medications including parasiticides, antibiotics and vaccines.  For more information, please see the full Prescribing Information at Apoquel.com/pi.Apoquel IndicationsControl of pruritus (itching) associated with allergic dermatitis and control of atopic dermatitis in dogs at least 12 months of age.    Cytopoint Indications: Cytopoint has been shown to be effective for the treatment of dogs against allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis.

IL-31 has gained a lot of attention in the last decade based on its role in pruritus for canine allergic dermatitis. Also, the specific therapies that target this pruritic cytokine (Apoquel and Cytopoint). This episode welcomes Meagan Painter, DVM, DACVD. She is a boarded certified dermatologist at MSPCA-Angell West in Waltham, MA. Dr. Painter has recently released an online course all about canine allergies (theallergicdog.com) that dives even further into this important topic!

Apoquel® (oclacitinib tablet) and Cytopoint are tremendous tools in the management of allergic and atopic dermatitis in dogs. On this episode of The Derm Vet podcast, I got to discuss both of these therapies with Dr. Dana Liska, DVM, DACVD. Dr. Liska is a senior veterinary specialist in dermatology with Zoetis Petcare. Learn how these therapies can be successfully utilized during the canine allergic workup and provide relief from pruritus. This podcast was sponsored by Zoetis.

APOQUEL may increase the chances of developing serious infections, and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to get worse. Consider the risks and benefits of treatment in dogs with a history of recurrence of these conditions.  New neoplastic conditions (benign and malignant) were observed in clinical studies and post-approval.  APOQUEL has not been tested in dogs receiving some medications including some commonly used to treat skin conditions such as corticosteroids and cyclosporines. Do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. Most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. APOQUEL has been used safely with many common medications including parasiticides, antibiotics and vaccines.  For more information, please see the full Prescribing Information at APOQUEL.com.APOQUEL® IndicationsControl of pruritus (itching) associated with allergic dermatitis and control of atopic dermatitis in dogs at least 12 months of age.    Cytopoint Indications: CYTOPOINT has been shown to be effective for the treatment of dogs against allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis.

She was born in Germany when her parents were working abroad and after exploring Europe in a VW van during her infancy, they decided to move back to the US where she grew up outside of Philadelphia. Some of her favorite memories from childhood are of her family, including the dog, taking trips with the pop up camper around the country.  On the veterinary side of her life she has worked at world-renowned facilities such as the Animal Medical Center in New York City and Animal Dermatology Clinic in Los Angeles.  She has received numerous awards and honors such as Excellence in Internal Medicine, Dean's Award, and Excellence in Dermatology.  She currently practices at Veterinary Skin and Ear in Santa Monica, CA, a state of the art facility providing world class care. Dr. Lancellotti's research into the safety of Apoquel, one of the most commonly used medications in veterinary medicine, was published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (and you can hear all about it on episode 4 of the Your Vet Wants You to Know podcast). Dr. Lancellotti is the host of the Your Vet Wants You to Know podcast, which offers pet owners a reliable source of evidence-based information for common questions to pet health topics in entertaining and easily digestible episodes. She is a national and international speaker and Fear Free certified veterinarian, focusing on creating positive associations for pets during hospital visits. She is a member of the medical advisory board for the Los Angeles Zoo and loves helping their animals. When she's not treating itchy, stinky pets, she loves adventures with her husband and two kids, ages 4 and 1, and one of her favorite travel experiences was the long cross country trip she and her husband took with their two dogs when they moved from New Jersey to California for veterinary school. Key Takeaways What do you want the experience to look like?  Our pets are like our children and want to be with us even while adventuring.  How can you design an experience to make an adventure an worthwhile experience for everyone involved including the dog. Your veterinarian is an amazing resource who wants your pet to be happy, healthy and with you on adventures.  Use them to guide your adventure.   Pet care habits often develop based on what we are familiar and exposed to and may not be the best for quality pet care.  For example, getting booties on our dog has been challenging for us.  Dr. Lancellotti offered great tips to help make those hard things a little easier by building a practice for positive association training sessions in 5 minute increments.   Everything from this episode, from the packing list to a deeper dive on a specific medication or condition to explore, can be found on her website: https://www.yourvetwantsyoutoknow.com  To connect with Dr. LancellottiPodcast: Your Vet Wants You to Know on Apple Podcast (or wherever you listen to podcasts) Website: https://www.yourvetwantsyoutoknow.com Instagram: @yourvetwantsyoutoknow Facebook: @yourvetwantsyoutoknow

Veterinary Voice: Allergies! Food, Inhalant, Fleas & More Food allergies are not as common as people believe, according to veterinarian Marty Greer. Inhalant, contact and flea allergies are more prevalent. Food allergy is mostly associated with chronic ear infections and recurrent skin problems. Conclusive diagnosis requires tedious food elimination diets. “Fall is a terrible time for allergies,” Greer noted. “Especially inhalant allergies and contact allergies of pollen in the grass. You can wash the dog’s feet at night to help reduce symptoms.” Foot chewing is the top symptom for inhalant/contact allergy, Greer said. She also observed that allergies can also be additive. A dog may have a food allergy that is only triggered by the addition of a seasonal contact allergy, for example. It only takes one! Flea allergy is signaled by dogs that are itchy around the rump, Greer noted. She added that one flea bite is all it may take to set off an allergic response. “Flea control products today are really good. Topical or oral, they are very effective. Vacuuming regularly is an important control system for fleas,” Greer said. Newer flea/tick control products affect the nervous system of only the parasite, Greer said. Older organophosphate-based products were not as good, she added. Pro/Con of flea/tick preventatives Oral meds are not recommended for patients with a history of seizures, Greer said. “They are not going to make a normal dog have a seizure. But they could trigger seizure sensitive dogs. Bravecto is the only oral medication labeled for breeding dogs,” she added. Advantages to the oral preventatives are that they leave no residue on coat, Greer said. The advantages of topical treatments is they are not a concern in seizure sensitive patients and they make a repellant shield to biting insects. Topicals also get rid of fleas/ticks more quickly. Anti inflammatory treatments “In the last 10-15 years, new products have come on the market to help to replace long-term steroid use,” Greer said. “Short course steroid use is effective and the side effects are minimal.” Links and information from Dr. Greer to learn more: Atopica https://www.elanco.us/products-services/dogs/atopica-cyclosporine-capsules-usp-modified (https://www.elanco.us/products-services/dogs/atopica-cyclosporine-capsules-usp-modified) Dog Quiz: https://us.atopica.com/survey-dog (https://us.atopica.com/survey-dog) , Cat Quiz: https://us.atopica.com/survey-cat (https://us.atopica.com/survey-cat) Apoquel https://www.zoetisus.com/products/dogs/apoquel/index.aspx Cytopoint https://www.zoetisus.com/products/dogs/cytopoint/the-itch-cycle.aspx Do not use APOQUEL in dogs less than 12 months of age or those with serious infections.
