Does oclacitinib predispose dogs to develop cancer?

Dear Colleagues,

What should I choose: intradermal testing or IgE serology?

Dear Colleagues,

Continuing allergen immunotherapy for longer than one year should lead to a higher treatment success!

To ensure the maintenance of the readership’s interest, I propose to occasionally change the format of these monthly newsletters while still maintaining a "ˆbest-evidence” approach.

Allergen levels  in house dust mite allergy are at their highest between May and October, the peak breeding season of house dust mites. Most of the mites die during the winter, but the allergen-containing dust is stirred up by heating systems. This often causes the symptoms experienced by affected patients year-round to worsen during the winter.

When is the best time to do allergen-specific IgE serological testing?

This question is commonly asked by veterinarians to Nextmune colleagues, and I could simply reply that there are no studies in the literature that unequivocally address this question.

Our Vet Nurse Program is a success! 

With our Vet Nurse Program we have focused on the veterinarian nurses who have a passion for dermatology and allergy in pets.

Can I perform IgE serology or intradermal testing when my patient is treated with glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, oclacitinib, or lokivetmab?

This question is highly relevant to daily veterinary practice, as most pets with active clinical signs are already treated with anti-allergic drugs by the time the discussion arises whether or not to test for IgE sensitivities before starting allergen immunotherapy.
