Ptolomy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I keep Zyrtec in the glovebox all the time and it doesn't make them drousy. and yep will defintely hang around for puppy cuddles this arvo. I will only have Moo with me which will make life easy. I am looking forward to it I got home from work yesterday f to find a disaster in the back room. Somebody, who shall remain nameless, but has a name rhyming with Mouse, has started shredding bedding and yesterday decided to take on the feather quilt and there were feathers EVERYWHERE.

SparkyTansy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have used polaramine mostly, and also used phenergan once which worked too. yay Moo We've decided to let them all run around so you can help us unload them from my car ;) oooh naughty!!!! Spartan stole my lunch off the bench this morning - it was soup and lets just say he left the soup behind and stole the container... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I use Zyrtec for Mason, or the generic. 2 tabs morning and evening they can have Masons face used to just go down with normal antihistamines but his wasnt as bad as Rubys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetchindawgs Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 RS there are some Antihistamines that are not suitable for dogs, simply because they will not work. It might do for you to ask your vet which one he would recommend for Ruby. I have several boxes of A/H which are suitable to give to dogs, and will give you a box to put in your car. If you are going to the retrieving trial on Sunday I will give you one then, otherwise I can give it to Ann to give to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I got to cuddle 6 little grey puppies tonight and when I got home I was mobbed by all the big kids. There are some lucky owners who are going to take home these little kids in a couple of weeks. Scoota did very well standing there with needles in while he was surrounded by the little kids. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozjen Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Tiggy i have gone a couple of times and seen no other people lol. Its lovely in winter It is lovely at this time of the year. The water is still quite low but flowing at least. I've never been, would like to though. Think we need a DOL meet there It's pretty rocky and hilly. Sure you're up for it. :p Lol, I panicked the once when Mason went swimming down the river, but there was a lot more water 2 winters ago Sounds like me at one of the early DOL meets I went to up in Kalamunda, when Gizmo jumped into this fast running little stream to swim across to all the DOLers when we where on the other side, while I was looking to cross via a fallen stree stump. Was flowing faster than he could swim, but he just wanted to meet all the DOLers, luckily he's small enough to scoop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozjen Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks, guys. Ruby still has fat lips today, I sure hope they go down soon. I don't have antihistamines and kept telling myself I should get them. BUT, I don't think they will be any good in Ruby's case. She needs a couple of jabs as her reaction is pretty severe. Still, I will get some and keep them in the car so I can at least treat her with something until I get her to a vet. And Millie may need them at some stage. ST - so James' swelling went down on its own with no treatment (besides antihistamines)? Here is Ruby about an hour after her first jab (she needed a second one and then some medication to take home with me): And her looking all sad (gosh my heart does flip flops looking at my sad girl ) Poor Ruby, just been scrollling through trying to find out what had happened to her after reading someones text. Give her hugs from me, she looks so forlorn in this pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at the chemist today at the types of AH's and wasn't sure what to buy! Lovely offer thankyou, but I can probably buy some. What brand do you use? I can't really say I have a regular vet, that is one thing I don't really like about the vet clinic I have been going to the past few years. Different vet each time. Would be nice to see a vet that knows and remembers my girls, and ask their advice on stuff like this. Poor Ruby, just been scrollling through trying to find out what had happened to her after reading someones text. Give her hugs from me, she looks so forlorn in this pic. Will definitely give her hugs for you, she's been getting extra hugs from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Awwwwww poor Ruby Hope she's feeling better now This was our Frida after a suspected wasp sting, she came up in hives all over her body and her face looked like Rubys! This pic was after the vet trip and an intravenous steriod (I think) jab We made sure to tell her new owners not to let her play with wasps And yes she has got her nose shoved in a yogurt pot Hope the vet trips went well for everyone else as well today.

Mason_Gibbs Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 CC my ridgie was allergic to insect bites and she would also get a rash like that. Funny for an allergy dog mason does not come up in rashes or hives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
