Hello. Do you mean Cytopoint? The alternatives are Apoquesl, cyclosporins, steroids, food elimination trials, & allergy testing with subsequent desensitization. Some dogs can be managed with the additional use of omega 3 fattys, topical ceramides ( Dermasense Essentials ), shampoos & mousses containing pramoxine &/or hydrocortisone. Depending on the overall health of your pet & the degree of his skin problem, your veterinarian can recommend other treatments. You might also ask for a referral to a veterinary dermatologist to do a through workup of Onyx's itchiness. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
