So... did you guys have better luck with benedryl or zyrtec? I know the benedryl is 1mg per/lb every 8 hrs. I am not sure about zyrtec. I am just nervous about benedryl...I don't want to completely dose her up!

Thoughts???
Zyrtec is a nice one to use, as you only have to give it every 24 hours, vs every 4-6 for Benadryl. My Derm Vet promotes Zyrtec or Claritin much more than Benadryl. Also, the Derms say you have to give any anti-hist at least 10 days-2 weeks before judging its efficacy and moving to a different one.
