Spring allergies are coming soon-are you ready? Come learn new dermatology pearls based on science! Dr. McKay will share her experience as a veterinary dermatologist to give you new insights to help your challenging allergic dermatitis patients. She will share real world cases supported by published studies and science to help answer your questions on: antihistamine efficacy (do they really work?), how skin infections can make allergy drugs less effective and how to improve success with allergen immunotherapy. She will present a refresh on Apoquel® (oclacitinib tablet)’s speed of onset, anti-inflammatory activity and updated safety data, and will share how to maximize success with Cytopoint® injections.
