If your dog's Cytopoint injections are not effectively relieving her itching anymore, it might be due to a range of factors, including possible changes in her condition or underlying issues.
- An increased frequency or intensity of scratching despite treatment
- Possible development of new skin conditions or allergies
- Environmental factors or seasonal allergies exacerbating symptoms
- Poor response due to new allergens or resistance to treatment
It's important to understand that while Cytopoint is designed to target specific proteins involved in allergic itching, other conditions or new allergenic triggers could reduce its effectiveness. Consulting with a veterinarian can help identify any new underlying causes of your dog's discomfort.
