    My preferred drug for allergic reactions like this is benadryl (Diphenhydramine). However, you should always describe the symptoms to your vet over the phone and seek guidance on dosage from them. Diphenhydramine causes drowsiness in animals just as it does in people

    hope that helps,

    Never buy over-the-counter medication for your pet without knowing exactly what you are supposed to get and never medicate  your pet without  your vet’s guidance.

    Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks
