First, I want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to us on social media with questions and stories of their own. We’ve heard from several people who are having some of the same issues as Norman. If you haven’t done so, we’d love to hear from you. You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Week 3 Update
A quick update on Norman’s Cytopoint injection results. It has been 3 weeks since the shot and he’s still doing really well. He is completely off Apoquel now, but we still give him Benadryl a couple times each day. He has had a couple days where he is a little itchy but nothing like before. Really hoping these results continue for another week when it will be time for another injection.
He has developed some scabby, infected areas on his back between the shoulder blades. I do not think these are related to the Cytopoint, but we will get them checked out. You know Norman has to find some way to get us to the vet. I think he secretly makes a commission off our visits.
If you haven’t read the previous posts about the Cytopoint injection, please check them out. Below is a picture I took today. Look at that belly!
