No - those are OTC anti-histamines recommended by Vet Derms. I'll attach the dosages from my actual Vet Derm's sheet for you (this sheet was created by them, not me). If you try one, the derms say to try it for at leas 10 days to evaluate effectiveness, before switching to another one.

We monitor him based on the weather and his daily scratching. We have spent thousands and nothing else has ever worked. Good luck I hope you have a better time dealing with it than we have. |
Have you tried allergy testing and shots and/or sublingual drops?
