Hello my cat roxy is diagnosed by you with eosinophilic plaque.please can you suggest any steroid and antibiotic names so that I can suggest it to my vet here in India.attaching few of her reports pls check
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. Steroids generally used are Prednisolone or Depo-Medrol. If Steroids can not control the lesions, we often go to Atopica ( cyclosporine ). For the antibiotic, I would start either with the amoxicillin/clauvalonic acid or one of the cephalosporins ( Covenia if available to you). You might also investigate using a hypoallergenic diet for cats, such as one with a novel protein or one made with a hydrolyzed protein. Science Diet & Royal Canin are very popular ones here. Hope this helps. Take care.

What is the best wet food to mix atopica for cats in. She will try to bite you and claw you if you give it to her orally with a syringe. Should I just starve her until she eats the breakfast portion I give her? Sometimes she goes all day long into th
I'm so sorry to hear that you have not been able to get Annabelle to take her Atopica. Often the best option for getting cats to eat medications are very stinky foods. I have found that a number of the Fancy Feast canned foods are the tastiest and stinkiest. You could also use a small amount of canned tuna (packed in water) or baby food (as long as it doesn't have garlic or onion powder in it). I would also recommend giving the canned food on an empty stomach. We do not want cats to go more than 24 hours without eating, but if you feed dry food, you may have luck if you pick up the dry food at night, then put down the canned food in the morning. You may also consider feeding an entire meal of canned food (if you find a type that she likes), so there is less Atopica in each bite. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My dog dx w/ Atopy 11 y.o. never showed extreme symptoms until flea bite. saw dermatologist. Got under control, off steroids just on Atopica 50mg. I don't know if there is a correlation but started taking him in my yard which I found out has po
If he has pustules then he may need to be on an antibiotic again to treat an infection. Atopica can cause side effects in some dogs and if you dog is experiencing negative side effects then you could talk to your vet about switching to a new allergy medication called Apoquel. I have used it on may dogs and it seems to work very well with minimal side effects.

Hi been giving my dog atopica but she keeps being sick with it is it ok to give with food as I have been giving it on an empty stomach up to now ?
Atopica works most effectively when given on an empty stomach. That said, I have recommended to some patients to initially give it with food until some of the GI upset has resolved, knowing that the medication will not be as effective. Once the GI signs resolve, we then give it on an empty stomach. You should speak with your vet before trying this approach. I hope Lily is able to tolerate her Atopica and feel better soon!

My 10yo cat has been diagnosed with inflammatory liver disease. He's been on steroids and Ursodiol for a year. His liver enzymes went down then back up. After a laparoscopic biopsy they reaffirmed the diagnosis (no signs of infection or cancer cells)
Lethargy is one of the side effects that can occur with Atopica for cats, about 13.6% of cats develop lethargy while on Atopica. While this in itself is not a problem, I would observe Thunder for other side effects such as vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea , decreased appetite,which are the most common side effects. If any of those occur in addition to the lethargy or if the lethargy gets worse, take Thunder back to the vet for a recheck and reassessment. There may be an infection (as his immune system is deliberately suppressed to combat the hepatitis), or your vet may want to change the medication.
