My vet told me to give my babies benedryl for their allergies. It has helped some with their itching. (As long as I remember to give it to them-bad mommy) He said to give about 1mg per pound. Right now, I have tablets from the vet, but when those run out he said I could get children's benedryl or even liquid adult benedryl from any store and give it to them in dropper form. As long as I trust my math, I'm not worried.
Good Luck,
Dawn
