I don't know if Benadryl will help an itchy incision because it probably isn't an allergy but if the vet told you to, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. Ellie's dose is 1/2 teaspoon and she is just over 5 pounds. Does she have a onesie or e-collar?
If the stitches are dissolvable, she may not need follow-up although they should look to make sure it is healing either way.
When in doubt, have them look at it. It is better than a problem going untreated. I had Ellie's vets look at hers twice before her staples came out and it was no charge. |
We tried the onesie thing, woke up the next morning and she was out of it. The incision isn't itchy, just her legs and stuff, I have to give her a bath every week using this soothing shampoo or she itches like crazy, it's the only thing I've found to help. I didn't get to give her a bath before her spay so she's been biting on her legs like nuts. I'm going to call them in a few.
