Will it kill the anchor worms with 2 correctly spaced treatment?

I switched from Apoquel to Cytopoint and my dog got the most horrific bacterial skin infection I've ever seen. It was a literal nightmare. My dog was tearing his fur out. A year later and the infection keeps coming back now. I haven't even mentioned his terrible chronic ear infections. Brown discharge and green pus literally ooze ftom his ears. I filed a complaint about Cytopoint. It's been pulled from the U.S. market. Im so angry at Zoetis! 😡 My dog has never been the same 🤬

My mom’s quarantine tank is a little bit larger than that.

Hey,this is SSG Martin btw

Love your pond. I set up two on my porch, and the fish are ready to go...but...it keeps storming. Are fish afraid during thunderstorms, and do they know to go low so they don't blow away?

What an amazing resource! Thank you so much for your devotion to the well-being of the fish!

I would LOVE for you to do a REDDIT AMA. I could pick your brain for days. The more I learn the more I realize just how much I don’t know. I’ve been koi keeping for a decade now and luckily I’ve made true friends in the international koi community tanks to membership in my local Koi Club. So I’ve had the ability to learn from and reach out for help, some of the best people around (I mean how many people can pick up the phone with a koi emergency on a Tuesday morning and have someone there as a friend with the knowledge, equipment, and ability to inject antibiotics into a sick koi while I’m frantically running around setting up quarantine tanks, moving fish, draining a pond and identifying parasites that I learned about in your writings. I’m a retired Army Non-Commissioned Officers and combat vet so even though I’ve had the ability to keep koi I’ve had huge and sometimes very costly and sad learning curves. I’ve never been in a position where I felt financially secure enough to spend tens of thousands of dollars to have the kinds of professionally built bottom drained ponds with filtration systems so complicated you’d need a degree to operate them… but, I think I’m about to. I moved to a tropical climate beautiful 3rd world country where my dollar went a lot further than it did at the time, but now that the dollar is as weak as I’ve ever seen it, I’m moving to back to the United States and building my ❝dream home❞ on a large homestead property I had inherited several years ago. I’m going to be using my VA home loan for the first time and when you do that and you own your own land and are going to build your home you have a lot of flexibility that you wouldn’t have if you were just buying an existing property. One of which is the ability to include things like major home appliances being rolled into the new construction loan. Well my new construction is going to have an indoor/outdoor koi pond built into it so the cost can be included in the home construction cost. It’s going to be my first and maybe only opportunity to do a pond as perfectly as possible. I know some builders, they are expensive but they are good and you probably know of most of them. But I’d still love to ask you questions. Because I’ve built several ponds for myself and family over the years and I’ve learned from my mistakes but just when I thought I had everything figured out and everything had been running smoothly for many years, the pond I built for my parents in an effort to get them to re-home my koi when I moved overseas, my mom lost some very big koi last winter and I still don’t know why. I was actually there visiting when the first one died and I did all the things I needed to do under the conditions and with the advice of my contacts but she went on to lose 2 more large koi after that. She want’s to replace them but I’m so afraid to introduce anything new into her healthy pond because of her lacking the knowledge (even though she has the equipment and ability) to quarantine, treat, and observe a new fish prior to introducing it into her pond (idk if any of this is making sense, I’d much rather have a back and fourth). Yeah, but anyway, please don’t stop making content because I’ve soaked up everything you’ve ever shared. I’ve personally purchased all of your books both digitally and physically for myself and gifted copies to others (btw I think that you would see a larger profit if you sold your books directly in addition to amazon if you write any new ones). So yeah, I guess just thanks.

I just want you to know I bought bother your books in multiple formats and gave some as gifts you’ve been an incredible help to me and I still follow you waiting for all things koi

Thank you, this is extremely helpful

Great video! If the swelling goes down with antibiotics does that rule out cancer?

My dog has been on Apoquel since Spring this year and now has cancer. DONT use it.

Doctor has you’r opinion changed? In 2023

Great info!

Used a spatula to scoop from nose to tail and immediately threw it into a quarantine 10g that was just water changed and contained 1tbs aquarium salt. Gourami easily about an hour. Yesterday. Looked like the mummy. Looks better today. Used stress guard, reg dose. Thanks for posting. Seeking a broad spectrum combo.

Doc, Just found the 20 steps again! Always watch your stuff. Hope you resume. It appears you have stopped?

Unfortunately I came across your video to late. My dog had to be put to sleep after receiving Apoquel. My vets are trying to tell me that he didn't die from lymphoma, but I have film showing the opposite. Thanks anyway for putting this video out there . Hopefully there are many owners that saw this video in time and saved their dogs. Cheers again.

This drug is way too expensive, each injection on my 60lbs German Shepherd is $275 CDN.

my dog died of cancer at the age of 7...neoplasms of organs....my brother's dog died of the same condition at the age of 5...and both of our dogs were on apoquel((((....coincidence? i don't think so...if only i watch that video sooner...

our family dog was just put down yesterday. He was given this drug for a skin infection a long time ago. once he started growing tumors, he was taken off of it. even after being taken off, the tumors continued to grow until they filled up his lungs enough to make it too difficult to breathe. Fuck apoquel.

Oxyfresh is best made daily, in distilled water and needs to be the ONLY water the subject gets. It can be made 'double strength' for better results against active oral infections, lower than adequate saliva production, significant slime accumulation in the mouth. I've had *zero* negative feedback about Oxyfresh,

www.drjohnson.net/explainers/IMG_0030%7ephoto.JPG <= A common site of failure. I let Ajax have these pieces anyway but very cautious people would probably take the condyles away. Or discard the whole bone. That type of failure is less than 15% of knucklebones - I've gone through a LOT of these with Ajax. :) Other forms of dental exercise including other beef bones and one for tiny breeds - at drjohnson.net

This video is from 2018 and here's a 2022 update: So far, after hundreds of injections, *zero* ill effect. No seizures. Which is surprising because among hundreds of dogs somebodies going to have a seizure anyway. But none. There have been 2-3 cases where it didn't work AT ALL. There have been half a dozen cases where it worked for 2-3 weeks only and is understandably too costly for such short-term control. 1 case where the dog never needed a second injection. The majority of cases need a shot every 4 to 6 weeks during peak allergy season. And some dogs need a shot once in Spring and once in Fall allergy seasons. Apoquel works better than Cytopoint but at a ginormous amount more risk. The cancer rate is higher in my practice on Apoquel than the global average of 10%. This product WILL NOT WORK in diseased skin so there's NO POINT using Cytopoint in skin which is actively infected, or infested. When you have a pink-skinned, pink-eyed itchy dog, without concurrent pyoderma, dry skin, fleas, fungus or mange, this Cytopoint is wonderful.

Can you please help my pond is infested with chilodonella I have tried malachite green formalin for over a week and it did not kill it so I went and drain the pond and bleached my pond bog a week later filled it back up cleaned everything thoroughly put the fish back in and they still have it so now I’m salting the pond at 9% and my fish are dying left and right what do I do please help me

Thank you

Cytopoint has given my 11 year old Havanese her personality and life back. Shes developed an allergy to basically everything in her advanced age and just to see her have relief and be herself again is a miracle. Totally worth it.

My dog does great with Cytopoint! I get him a shot every June and August. Thanks!

Dr Johnson you are awesome I hope we get to see each other again soon. Thank you for sharing these videos.

My pug was prescribed apoquel 3 weeks ago. My pug has a collapsing trachea, and other pug related issues, including horrible itching. She also had polyps removed from her trachea 6 years ago. A week after starting this drug, she’s been coughing, hacking, and struggling to catch her breath. I took her to the vet AS SOON as the cough started, for antibiotics. I asked them multiple times during this visit if it could be apoquel causing it from immune suppression. They assured me it wasn’t, and that it was fine. After a few days of antibiotics, she was feeling better, BUT THEN the cough came back with a vengeance. We rushed her to the vet again for a injectable antibiotic, cough suppressants, among other things. She was GREAT for another few days, until it came back again. The vet still assured me the apoquel couldn’t be causing anything, and shamed me for wanting to stop it, because I know my dog, and apoquel was the only thing that changed. I discontinued apoquel on my own, without vet approval, and after a bit, the cough went away near completely on its own. I don’t know if my pugs cough was caused by apoquel, but I firmly believe it caused this. Thank you so much for this video, you’ve confirmed to me that I’ve made the right choice, and I will be disposing of the 250$ bottle if apoquel I purchased.

I hope to alleviate the stress my dog has been experiencing with the itches. I hope to find a good treatment for her. At 13 she deserves health.

Dr. Rik Johnson I live in Brazil, São Paulo city. I gave the pills to my York shire terrier every day. Veterinarian's recommendation. It was 4 years of medication. We found cancer in her bladder. She was operated on and we are following. We interrupt the apoquel. My dog's allergy is severe and Cytopoint has no effect. The current medication is cortisone. Cytopoint costs R $ 280.00. Very expensive.

Great info to know for all hobbyists

Our cytopoint is cheaper than apoquel. Our 30lb dog was $80 but one month of apoquel was $150

The number of cases reported is pretty shocking. What’s ironic is the fifth side effect on the list is pruritus (itching) - the very thing the drug is supposed to stop! So what’s next? Enter the latest scary allergy drug, Apoquel. It also suppresses your dog’s immune system … but in a different way. So … is it safer?

My fancy goldfish has what looks like tiny white spikes forming on it and it is sitting at the bottom of my tank not swimming much any idea what to do? Thank u

Hi do you still Recommend recommend Cytopoint? My dog gets her first injection this week and I’m nervous.

Hi Dr eric. Got a problem with chargoi I bought from a pond closure . Please can I contact you via an email i can get in touch with you. Please and will send pics .kind regards Brian

I'm in Canada and my Frenchie is 22lbs it's $60 a shot

Can you withdraw apoquel immediately with no side effects? Some drugs have side effects if you withdraw the drug suddenly.

Thank you for posting this! My dog was just prescribed Apoquel two days ago. I asked for prednisone or a shot, but got this crap. It would be great if you practiced medicine in my area so you could be his vet! Thank you so much!

My pug has been on apoquel 2 years in the summer months for hay fever and yeasty ears. She hasn't gained any weight or had any issues. I'll ask my vet to switch. I think in some dogs it can cause issues and others are fine.

My 10year old beagle diagnosed with cancer been taking apoquel for 4 year’s

You are awesome!!! I am subscribed. Thank you for your information

I’m paying so much money.

I lost my dog 4 weekss ago. My other two dogs got very itchy. They are on Apoquel now my dog has lumps on her neck and vomiting. Thank you.

I think my vet owes me back 600$

We tried Cytopoint for our dog and it was not effective.

What a great vid

💜👍

I've ben sending this to people that ask me why after a month there fish look like hell

Since I could comment on your latest video, thought I would come here to tell you how much I liked your title and what it made me think. No Bikini at all= No Bikini Atoll, since we blew the shit out of it and possibly f'd up the marine life forever! You gave a great sense of humor and are a wonderfully rare realist. I am from West Michigan and am a retired Registered Respiratory Therapist who does private duty ( keeping my friends/neighbors mother from going in a nursing home) and get totally what you are saying in your video! I get most people are not medically minded, but, dang! Even when you explain to people what they need to do to help themselves or others, it goes into their brains and get diluted with all the useless information being stored there. Lol! Sad really! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and expertise, it's appreciated here!
