Can tacrolimus eye drops and Cyclosporine ointment cause cancer in dogs? My precious dog, baby and best friend was diagnosed just last week with Transitional Cell Carcinoma in his bladder. It is a rapid growing cancer. I am completely heartbroken and am wondering if there was something I could've done to prevent this. He has been on these two eye medications for about a year. His name is Duke and he is a beautiful tri-colored collie and is a little over 10 years old.
Hello,
About a month ago I noticed red bumps on the side of my scrotum and they also started to appear in my inner thigh as well. I used hydrocortisone cream and it the bumps seemed to get better but what I'm left with now is my entire scrotum and penis are red and a bit sensitive to touch. It's not alot of pain and no itching at all and I have no raised bumps or rash. The skin has just turned red.

We have run the gamut of all the available drugs. Currently we use a cyclosporine ointment and tacrolimus drops three times a day, plus eye drops and clear eyes ointment to lubricate their eyes. The Pilocarpine seemed to agitate the dogs and the effect on tear production was unclear so we are currently not using it.We are considering the PDT surgery. If anyone has updated information on the procedure or insight into new forms of treatment, it would be great to hear from you.

Another Dermatologist thought my immune system caused the reaction and prescribed Tacrolimus ointment...told me to put it on until the color came back. I did that for 3 months and didn't notice any significant change....only occasional peeling of the skin next to the head of my penis! Is there ANYTHING that will fix my skin?
