Hello everyone and thank you for your patience this summer during my abscence. My media work is one of my favorite aspects of my veterinary career and I am itching to get back to corresponding with all of you. Whether you are a fan of my BlogTalkRadio podcast, my YouTube webcast, or both, we are set to kick off the new season tomorrow night, Wednesday 9 PM EST with my podcast, Veterinary Advice, Animal News and Views.

In this show, I will be announcing the completion of an exciting project that I worked on all summer that will be free for pet owners to enjoy great benefits from. I will then highlight some changes that will be in effect for the new fall season and transition into the evening's topic of The Itchy Pet.

For those of you that are waiting for return of The Web-DVM YouTube webcast, the first one is set to air one week from tomorrow, Wed 9-21-2011, where I will be discussing my project further, as well as showing it in action. My plan for this season with a very demanding schedule is to alternate every other week between my podcast and webcast. I love both genres equally for different reasons, but doing both each week turned out to be too much of a demand on my time.

Thank you all again for your patience this off season, and for caring enough to listen to little old me! I hope the my new project I have to offer you, as well as this season's topics and formats will be such that I do not disappoint!

Dr. Roger Welton is the President and chief veterinarian at Maybeck Animal Hospital in West Melbourne Florida, as well as CEO of the veterinary advice and health management website Web-DVM.net.

Thank you for this discussion. My dog is endlessly itching and we have tried everything, including the allergy testing and shots you talked about. Of course my dog falls in the 25% that it does not work on. :(

We plan to bite the bullet and pay out of the ear for the Atopica as that seems to be our only option. The steroids work to stop the itching, but I do not like the prospect of my 3 year old dog staying on a steroid for life. The side effects sound just horrible. So Atopica and less shopping for me is the what is going to have to be. Any chance that stuff may get any cheaper??

Atopica is an excellent solution based on what you wrote. I sympathize over the price, it is just outrageous. I do not see any likelihood of that medication getting any cheaper any time soon. Generally, things get cheaper once they go off patent so that the generic forms can then be made and sold. With Atopica having only come out in the early 2000s, there is likely several more years of patent left (most patents last 17 years) where Novardis (the company that maks the drug) can continue to gouge the cost of it.

At any rate, I admire your dedication and sacrifice to pay for it for your dog. Best of luck and thanks for listening!
