Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The use of apoquel in is not common place yet. Some Vet are starting to use it. The dose is 5.4mg/adult cat. But the dose isn't based on conclusive studies. I think that Toast will be fine. We just don't know the side effects well in cats. But I think that one slightly increased dose shouldn't be a problem. I hope this helps! Good luck!
