DeleteLeah Atopica is deadly. The first thing you should be doing is getting your dog off of it. I worked with many dogs that become very ill on Atopica - three canine patients last week, two almost died on Atopica. I addressed those dogs health issues via a custom holistic diet nutrition wellness plan - and removed the Atopica.
