Allergies!

[Jenny G]

This crazy Oklahoma weather has sent Lucy and myself over the edge!  Poor Lucy has been sneezing and hacking for 3 days now!  I've been giving her children's benedryl - just 1 per day.  How many can I give her in 1 day? I'd like to give her 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening if it's safe. 

I washed all of their bedding and the rugs last night and swept and vacuumed real good. Hopefully that'll help a little too!

We had some warming weather in San Diego (and a few days of rain) and my allergies have been going nuts for a couple of weeks now. Poor Drew says I drive him nuts some nights because I am so congested and my breathing is so eratic! I feel for you guys!

I give Buelah one in the morning (children's strength) and one in the evening if she is having allergy issues.  Her eyes tend to get really yucky and I do think it helps.  Good luck!

Katie's vet says to give one benedryl (regular...she's a big dog!) per 25 lbs. But I'm not sure about the kids benedryl...hmmmm

[April]

The dosage of benadryl is 1mg/pound with a maximum dose of 50 mg.  It doesn't matter if it's the liquid kind or the pills if you just remember that.  I honestly don't know about other drugs since I've never had to use them for my dogs.
