But that actual skin infection took antibiotic injection and I think a steroid, was awful. He suddenly stank, itched all over, suddenly scratching all night, so come morning, off to the vet. Came home already feeling much better, was back to normal couple days later, that fierce itching done. Thank God for vets!

Benadryl is definitely something you should always have on hand for emergency’s. Had I not given Ollie some before I rushed him to the vet for his allergic reaction it would have been much worse. Both boys also have to take it before vaccines. Also if Penny is having a day where her reverse sneezing is bad I will give her some and it calms it down. Benadryl is probably one of the safest meds out there.
