Thoughts on Appoquel

[Delarage]

For dog allergy issues. My lab mix had a very uncomfortable allergy issue in late spring. I home cook for her and hasn't had such an issue before (a relatively minor allergy issue last spring). So vet thinks it's something seasonal. Used up the Appoquel and was fine for about 5 weeks, now scratching again.

A friend told me Appoquel might be dangerous and suppresses the immune system. Her dog got a shot of Cytopoint and responded equally as well (the Appoquel seemed to act immediately and within a few days all her scratched up skin was returning to normal).

Has anyone tried either or know anything more about their affects? I want her to be comfortable but don't want to kill her, either! Both are expensive, of course.
