I know it was a silly thing to blog about, but I appreciate the concern and suggestions.<BR/>I kind of figure that most human medications and creams were tested on animals first so they are probably safe on dogs right?<BR/>I'll try your suggestions.Della Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629925559418817649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986496025512505696.post-64559359684211554722008-02-24T22:25:00.000-05:002008-02-24T22:25:00.000-05:00Della, I found this info about giving your dog ben...Della, I found this info about giving your dog benadryl. I hope it helps.--Liz<BR/><BR/>Antihistamines <BR/>Antihistamines can be used with relative safety in dogs. About one third of owners report success with them. The major drawback, as with people, is sedation. Dr. Ackerman recommends that a minimum of three different types of antihistamines be tried before owners give up on this therapy. According to Dr. Johnson, the most common problem with this type of treatment is that owners give the drugs at doses that are too low. Check with your vet on correct dosing. Examples of antihistamines commonly used for dogs include: Tavist, Benadryl, Chlortrimeton, Atarax and Seldane. Personally, I have seen the best results with Atarax.Chet and Liz Hugohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597812448781053812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986496025512505696.post-78148316032391235632008-02-24T13:50:00.000-05:002008-02-24T13:50:00.000-05:00I am sorry for Toby!

I ask about the creams because Eucerin cream helps a lot, so does Aquafor. Just a suggestion..You might want to get a second opinion from the new vet there too, one of our dogs suffered from arthritis, and they had medicine for that. It would make sence that they would have an allergy medication for dogs. Good luck!!Hollys Hobbieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191045168192171122noreply@blogger.com
