My mom's poodle does this to his paws when his allergies act up. She gives him the benadryl three times a day, but not the childrens. The vet goes by the weight of the animal as to the dosage.. His seems to be food allergies as my mom loves to treat him to people food....He has has to have shots for his allergies, this was in the summer when he was so bad.. DeeDee is so hyper the benadryl calms him down to were you would think he was really a good dog!!!!HAHA I wish you luck and hope it clears up on its own....Sharon |
