what meds can i get him for ichy-ness Chewy had fleas...they are taken care of now, but he is SO itchy! i feel so bad, he itches until he makes noises like hes frustrated...then i take over for him! can i give him benidryl? Would that stop the itch from a bite? He is 8lbs, so how much? |
It's usually liquid children's benidryl that's given. 1/4 teaspoonful |
the dosage for benedryl is 1mg per lb. so 8lbs would get 8 mg of benedry. for a pup under 5 pounds i wouldn't use this. I had asked if i could give it to morgan who's 4.5lbs for reverse sneezing episodes that last longer then 10 minutes and the internalist didn't recommend it. |

You can get the liquid benadryl dye and alcohol free. That's what I use for Taz and it really helps him a lot. The first time I gave it to him though it knocked him out. I felt so bad. But he has adapted a little and it helps him not to sratch as much if his skin is bothering him. Taz and my husband seem to have allergy bout together :eek: |
we use regular childrens benedryl liquid. Bella is around 5 pounds and she gets 2.5 ml (just a tad under that). |
Ellie's dose is 1/2 teaspoon and she is just over five pounds. |
