Why Apoquel is dangerous

Apoquel is prescribed to dogs, but flavored chewables can lead to a whole-package overdose. FDA has reported accidental overdoses with gastrointestinal, neurologic, blood-cell, and other effects.

Signs to watch for

Vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, tremors, weakness, unusual behavior

What to do next

Keep the bottle or packaging, count what may be missing, and call for case-specific guidance even if your dog looks normal.
