| So glad she is responding. When my beloved Sophie became ill, I questioned the vet about all medications and food, came home and quickly researched the ingredients and any reactions. It is very hard to not stress but, if you become knowledgeable, you will be her best advocate as well as her voice. Bless you and your sweet girl.

| Goodie, glad the steroids are working. Good girl Kayla. Here's a kiss from Tink! She's glad you're better too. She knows it's no fun to be sick. |

| So much for the good news... All the redness is back at LEAST as bad as it was last night. I don't know what to do. I'm doing everything the vet told me to do. The benadryl isn't helping now - maybe it didn't earlier - maybe it was just the steroids and they only lasted so long? This is really the pits. |

| I'm sorry, I hope that you and the vet can figure out what's going on! It's so scary when something's not right with our babies

| Teri, is sweet little Kaya acting puny, or does she just have the rash? I wonder if maybe she has some sort of contact allergy.... Have you DONE anything different? Maybe used a different laundry soap or softner? Are you using a different type of hand lotion -- that maybe you have on your hands when you pick her up? Giver her lots of hugs |

I have used a different type of hand lotion. Someone from work brought it to me after surgery. Her sickness started about a week after I started using it. Gee, I wish it could be something that simple. (except that it is expensive lotion and I LOVE it and have been wanting some for a looooong time. ) I'll quit using it and see if makes a difference. Thanks for thinking of that. I've been trying and trying to think of anything that could be different around here but can't think of anything else. Did you see the pic of her in our great Nap Sack on your thread???? | |

| Oh Teri I hope that She gets better soon I know how frustrating it can be to have anything go wrong with them. You feel so helpless. I will keep praying that things get better for her and you |

If the dog dosage is 1/2 mg per pound, if she is a four pound yorkie, this would only be 0.8 ml. That's not even a full 1 ml. I had to give Pippa Benadryl once and her dose was 0.5 ml. Please be careful. Benadryl overdoses can be dangerous.

Kaya is 5.6# right now, so I think the dosage is ok. She has been just lying around since she starting feeling sick and that was a few days before we started the benadryl. I know it can make them sleepy, even taking the correct amount. Thanks for the thumbs up! | |

| Phew...good. That really scared me. I just wanted to make sure the misinformation was cleared up. Benadryl is one of the drugs that we try to reinforce the importance of dosing correctly in my line of work (pediatric nursing). Glad Kaya is doing better!
