You could always call your vets office and double check the dosage for your baby. Many use Benedryl also, but Zyrtec gets my vote. I have also hear that one mg per lb is a good dosage, but double check me on that! |
I left my name and number with the vet's office at lunch today. I've not received a call yet and probably won't. He is not open on the weekends. The receptionist did tell me that they prefer Benadryl over Zyrtec. I asked why and she said it had something to do with the ingredients used in Zyrtec. That is why I asked for the vet to call me back so I could find out the exact reason why the prefer Benadryl.
I think I'm going to try omitting her dry food for a couple of weeks and see if she has developed an allergy to it. I've read where they can sometimes do this.
Thanks also for your feedback.
