While Monroe's heartfailure seems to be well controlled, his skin is going the opposite way.
He is tearing up his skin, front legs are getting hairless, the inside of one back leg has a big sore.
The Apoquel seemed to have such promise, but it might have been just aligned with the off-season for allergens. I will wean him off (don't know if weaning is necessary, but the vet recommended it).
I ordered him a fatty acid/ vitamin E supplement, and I hope he'll like it.
I also did some research on cyclosporine, which can have tremendous side effects. It suppresses the immune system and is thought to cause lymphoma. I don't think I want to risk it.
Please keep Monroe in your thoughts.
