I have been doing benedryl for a few weeks now so I wanted to post an update here. CHloe is a little under 3 lbs and I give her .30 cc (Im use a small seringe the vet gave me) and if she is really bad I give her .40cc and if I give her .40cc she seems a little sleepy but its really hard to say because she normally naps during the day while I am sewing anyways.
CHloe still absolutely hates the stuff if I try to use the medicine dropper and put it directly in her mouth so I use nutro lamb and rice treats (they are soft but in the form of long sticks) and I break off little pieces and sort of split them in the middle and put some medicine on them and its sort of soaks it up quickly. And then this way she gets super excited to take her medicine.
The only problem I am having is her scratching really bad when the medicine wears off. Do you guys only give your dogs the benedryl once a day? What do you do when it wears off and they start scratching again? |
