And, I have allergies myself and sometimes need a touch of steroid to calm down the worst
symptoms, so I thought the same thing would apply to the
cat--to use the steroid cream temporarily, to calm down the skin inflammation enough for the skin to heal--then use the Benadryl in the manner that the vet told me after that, as it is a gentle antihistamine. She also said to buy some Zyrtec and give Akira 1/4 tablet each day for her allergies.
