Anyone use Atopica?
Discussion
One of our cats suffers from bad flare up of dermatits which seem to be getting more frequent and worse. She has been on medrone when it's bad but obviously it has it's side effects etc.
Our vet has suggested try Atopica as they now make it for cats too which we are planning on get a prescription for at her check up this week.
Just wondered if anyone had/does use it on their Cat or Dog and have you had any success.

We used it some time back when it was new to the market for an intermittent skin problem that was becoming resistant to other treatments on our eldest dog. The skin around the lips/nose/eyes where it changed from black skin to hairy skin would break up and bleed.
It did work - starting with one pill per day then dropping to a couple a week. Very expensive back then but I understand prices have dropped (ie - about £4 per pill).
Might be worth a try, but there are lots of things around. Our vets are doing a lot of work with ''human'' creams with positive results. Each problem varies.

Well, we have just started using this.

Looks like Petplan are covering it, but I'm more concerned about the long term life shortening effects on my dog.
