Chezy Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 my vet usually answers after hours, but atm no , fancy having a life I have been told by vet b4 and by others that you can use benadryl ,I bought the liquid original and now have been told no you can't. Chopper and Gizzi both have it now , Gizzi has pancreatitis and takes phenomav[sp] for fits . Whats the dosage and can Gizzi have it?They are not too bad now, just want to know incase they get worse [Gizzi 13yo] and I need something for them .

carrie Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 What symptoms in particular are you wanting to use benadryl for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) I assume you are treating Kennel Cough - dosage is 0.2ml/kg but it must be childrens benadryl but do check regarding other medical conditions Edited June 18, 2011 by Tilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 if my dog had health problems and on medication I would stay away from it I used benadryll once and it didnt really help, i just let it pass over the dog and take them to the vets if they show any infections.

Chezy Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) I got it for chops as he was coughing bad and I thought I'd give it to him to help the cough, when I got home from work gizzi is a bit snuffly , both are ok atm asleep, so not needed , want to know if they turn and need something , was not til someone showed me a sight that said not to use it, then another said yes with buts, tahst I thought I'd ask if there was a vet round to clarify Edited June 18, 2011 by Chezy & Chopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they have kennel cough? Do vaccinations not work properly? Vaccinations do not necessarily prevent KC. If they have been vaccinated they can have reduced symptoms. There are also a number of strains of KC so it depends whether the vaccine has covered these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
