Yes the Piriton syrup is for children as young as 1yr. It is says on the bottle 2mg (150ml) Not sure what that means as regards the actual dosage but your vet will know. It will be much easier to use.
I had a look at the Benadryl last night and I see that it is not the same ingredient as the American one. How strange? I have used it for Toots and she was fine. It seemed to help her sneezing. Let us know what the vet says if you do go back to him. I would be interested to know. We are really experiencing a bad hay fever season this year. My husband and I are both taking antihistamines!
Has Button improved significantly on the Piriton? If so, how quickly did he respond - within a day or longer? I just want to compare it to the Benadryl I am using.
I do hope he is a lot better.
