ruthless Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Angel rubbed her ass (back, above her tail) against the brick wall in her run so much yesterday that it bled. She's been itchy for a while. We've been using permoxin and she had a bath yesterday. I meant to get her some Phenergen as that's worked in the past. I keep forgetting though. Would it be ok to give her a Clarityne? (sp?!) I have a box here for my hayfever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) I give my 19 kilo Border Collie 1/2 Cetirizine when needed once a day for her itches mainly due to little ticks. This is the generic form of Zyrtec & is a human antihistamine. Maybe the calendula tea rinse would be good for her, especially if its only in one spot.

ruthless Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks. I know some human antihistamines are ok, I'm just wondering if Clarityne is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSoSwift Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I have used Claratyne successfully on three dogs who all got bee stings when we had a swarm go through. Dose is half a mg/kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
