An allergy question and an Oreo update

[Scooter's Mom]

Thanks!

I just gave him the first dose. He wolfed it down. Gosh I wish my sick little kitty was that easy to pill! LOL - he's so bad, we have to literally chase him around the house until we (and the dogs) corner him and then we can scruff him and pick him up. Dogs are so much easier.

Hope this benadryl works, I don't know what the next step is... my brother's dog (a chow mix) has to get allergy shots, and I know I don't want to go to that extreme.

Thanks again,
Crystal

Funny that this thread should come up. My Maggie (lab mix) just started
taking benadryl yesterday. The Vet first gave her an allergy shot last Thurs.
but by Friday afternoon Her itching was driving us both batty. The vet then
said to give her 1/2 the 25mg tablet twice a day. It has helped a lot.

p.s. She doesn't seem to be extra sleepy or anything, just more relaxed.

Oreo wasn't phased at all! He just kept going - like the Energizer bunny.

But hopefully the benadryl will help him quit chewing and help his allergy. Thank you all for the help!
