Finally ending the allergic scratching
I use this for my dog, a 16 pound poodle lhasa apso mix. I had a hard time delivering the capsule form of this medicine. I called Novartis to find out what the difference was between the feline and canine formula, and I was told they were identical. The syringe that comes in the box has a graduated dosing gauge to match the poundage of your dog or cat. I fill the syringe to the 16 pound mark. All of the redness on her belly goes away. She stops biting her paws and scratching at her ears which, without the Atopica, can become infected and require a wash and medicated ointment. We tried everything before Atopica including diet changes, ending poultry in her meals, and feeding her single foods to test what she was allergic to. She suffered for years until I finally came upon this product. I cannot recommend it highly enough. During highest allergy season, we dose her once every day. When the weather is wetter and the pollen count is down, she can occasionally skip a day or two between dosing.

Mixed results
I've been using this for my cat, who has food allergies and skin issues, for about 6 months. In the first 3 months, at the highest dose, I saw good improvement and regrowth of hair along the belly and legs. My vet then suggested we cut back the dose, and after about a month, my cat was licking all his hair off again. He's been back on the highest dose for a few months now, and although there has been some improvement/regrowth, it's not nearly the same as it was in the first 3 months. Since this medication is not meant to be given at the highest dose for long periods, I'm just not sure it works for him. Very disappointing, as it's a safer alternative to prednisone, and VetRxDirect has had the best price on it. A couple of major cons: it's extremely expensive, and the stuff apparently tastes awful, as my cat drools like crazy whenever he gets it. I mix it with about .5 ml water and a bunch of Fortiflora, which helps, but he still hates it. I'm not sure why the manufacturer doesn't make it with a pet-friendly flavoring.
