If I were you, I'd be trying either Zyrtec or Claritin - and btw, you do need to try any anti-histamine for at least 14 days prior to assessing its effectiveness. I'm attaching the dosage sheet given to me by my Vet Derm so that you have the correct dosages for these meds.  |
Thank you for sending this to me. I ended up getting some Claritin instead. Yes, she was giving antibiotics for the ear infection and the skin infection.
