He now takes Zyrtec every night before bed. It seems like it's seasonal allergies (although every season  ) and it's almost equivalent to a human having a stuffed nose and sniffling.
My vet was going to begin helping me treat it as a behavioral issue if the Zyrtec didn't help.
I wish I could offer advice on your dog, but I can only share my story. |
I'm new to using some of the features here, so I hope I did the "Quote" option properly.......I guess we'll see. Anyway, I was wondering how much Zyrtec do you give a dog per pounds? I have Daisy on Benedryl which works pretty good. But I would like to maybe try the Zyrtec and see how it does for her....Thanks Carol.
