I normally give Charlie benedryl when his allergies get really really bad. Tonight is VERY bad. Yesterday he was perfectly fine, no scratching at all. Tonight we get home from work and he is just spastic with scratching himself.
My only issue is that I am completely out of benedryl right now! However I do have some claritin but I don't want to give him any without making 100% sure there will be no adverse affects. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with giving their dog a claritin instead of benedryl?? Just for reference this is the OTC stuff, not prescription.
I'm trying to avoid a midnight wal-mart run (but will go if needed) since our walmart is a bit of a drive especially with traffic.
