Dog Skin Allergies: Apoquel and Steroids Work Differently
A randomized lab study in 16 beagles found that both oclacitinib (Apoquel) and prednisolone (a common steroid) reduced allergy-related gene activity in dog skin, but each drug targets different immune pathways — helping explain why treatment outcomes can vary.
Key Findings:
- Both drugs reduced many allergy-related gene-expression changes.
- Prednisolone produced a broader inhibitory response.
- The drugs affect different immune pathways.
