Dani HoolahanGUEST
The allergies become more challenging to manage.
Dani HoolahanGUEST
The clients are frustrated because perhaps they've tried something like Cytopoint or Apoquel and initially it worked really well and now it's not working as well.
Dani HoolahanGUEST
And also, you know, by that point, the expenses have added up and the client's getting emotionally and financially exhausted.
Dani HoolahanGUEST
And so I feel like if we can work as a team to implement that multimodal management protocol in these atopic dogs earlier on, we end up spending less money overall and our patients have better outcomes and our clients are happier.
Dani HoolahanGUEST
And then we have things like cyclosporine coming on the market.
Dani HoolahanGUEST
We have Apoquil.
Dani HoolahanGUEST
We have Cytopoint.
Dani HoolahanGUEST
And within the next 12 months, I suspect we'll have some other options that we can utilize as well.
Roger WeltonHOST
A lot of folks have heard of that.
Roger WeltonHOST
There's also monoclonal antibody therapy that targets that whole system called Cytopoint.
Roger WeltonHOST
Also very, very safe.
Roger WeltonHOST
From a medicinal standpoint, supplemental...
Dan BatchelorHOST
disclosure.
Dan BatchelorHOST
Nowadays, you've got your Cytopoint, you've got your Apoquel.
Dan BatchelorHOST
What are these all about? How do I manage atopic dermatitis in my
Laura BuckleyGUEST
case?
Laura BuckleyGUEST
So usually less than three years old.
Dan BatchelorHOST
Yeah.
Laura BuckleyGUEST
So we've also got drugs like Cytopoint, which is locivetmab, or oclacitinib, which is Apoquel.
Laura BuckleyGUEST
And these are predominantly anti-itch drugs.
Mark SprayberryGUEST
I've got a house call this afternoon I do for clients, established clients, busy people, especially right now.
Mark SprayberryGUEST
And I'm going to run over and Teddy the golden doodle is going to get a Cytopoint injection.
Mark SprayberryGUEST
And, you know, and the owner said, well, I think you'll be all right.
Mark SprayberryGUEST
And I said, no, it's going to be, I'm not going to, no. I'll just drop by a brand and give her this shot because I don't want to have to deal with all the other stuff.
Maria PeredaHOST
So, for example, I have a dog that's really hard to dose orally for his heartworm prevention and for any kind of... any kind of supplements or any kind of allergy medications.
Maria PeredaHOST
So I'm immediately, if I'm choosing Cytopoint over Apoquil, I'm choosing ProHeart over HeartGuard, I'm choosing the injectable medications because that is what works best for my patient.
Maria PeredaHOST
Yet the clients don't know about that unless we talk about it, unless we advertise those services.
Maria PeredaHOST
And those are services that an online pharmacy can't always give.
Jeannette BimonteGUEST
I've done the Atopica.
Jeannette BimonteGUEST
I've done the Cytopoint.
Jeannette BimonteGUEST
I've done the Apoquel." You're on the prescription skin diet.
Jeannette BimonteGUEST
They don't have money to see a dermatologist.
Ashley BourgeoisHOST
So if you do have the Frenchie who's seven months, uh, old and already itchy, and you've, you know, controlled things like pyoderma, then you have that available to you.
Ashley BourgeoisHOST
The other options would be things like monoclonal antibodies, so both Cytopoint and now the new one Befrena do not have age limits on them, so you can use them in very young dogs.
Ashley BourgeoisHOST
Traditionally, before we had these medications, right, we'd have to use things like lotasteroid or just really focus on topicals and infection control.
Ashley BourgeoisHOST
But we are really lucky that those are newer therapies that do have labeling for younger ages.
Ashley BourgeoisHOST
So NuMalve, greater than six months of age, Cytopoint and Befrena, um, those are options really with no age limit on them.
Ashley BourgeoisHOST
So let's go through a refractory allergy checklist.
Ashley BourgeoisHOST
So when you have a patient that you feel like could have allergies and you're, um, dealing with them with these different symptomatic medications and they're just not responding, right? You're starting what you feel like's a good option and you're just not seeing the results you want.
Michael DymGUEST
So it's really even stronger.
Michael DymGUEST
The suppressive drugs, including the newer ones for the skin allergies, the injections, the Cytopoint shots, like I said, the Apoquels, these are so powerful.
Michael DymGUEST
And they don't have the side effects of prednisone.
Michael DymGUEST
When I say the side effects, they don't have the acute side effects.
Tom WalshGUEST
Yep.
Hannah CaponHOST
And now, and now we have Atopica, Apoquil, Zenralia, Cytopoint.
Hannah CaponHOST
We have more shampoos than I know what to throw a stick at.
Hannah CaponHOST
We've got supplements.
JenHOST
Like, a two-week course of Diflucan for her
IngoHOST
... we also gave her the, her Cytopoint shot two weeks ago, so she's full-on in the...
IngoHOST
She's supposed to be not itchy from that.
JenHOST
And yet she was so itchy this last week still that I was like, "I don't know if there's anything else they can do for her, but I gotta bring her back in." And they were really nice, and they're like, "We've done, we've done all the things."
