antihistamine medications dogs

Over the past month he was on prescription medications including Otomax (ears), Ketoconazole 50 mg, and Temiril-P, all in tablet form and Cephalexin, a capsule. The Temiril (at more than $1 per pill) provided the medications in the subject line, less the Benadryl. Clearly one or more of the above cleared up the paw licking problem - and maybe the itch problem in general, but I also will guess the combination of meds teamed to accomplish the improvement.

I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

Hi & Welcome....She's already taking an antihistamine (I would not add more).....Temaril-P is a combination drug consisting of antihistamine & a steriod. What I think she needs is LASIX (For the fluid retention). Normally for heart failure, Lasix are prescribed along with the heart meds. and can be given 1-3 times a day depending on the severity of the congestion. Once, the fluid is off her lungs, the cough and congestion will improve greatly.

Since you have reactions to so many medications, it may be that you are allergic to certain food colorings or excipients that are used in formulating the medications. My boss, a doctor, cannot use any products (like soft drinks, vitamins, prescribed meds) that contain one of the common dyes, or he is at risk for anaphylatic shock.

In approx 10% of dogs, any antihistamine can unexpectedly cause excessive sleepiness, or paradoxical excitment, and if these symptoms occur, then the antihistamine is discontinued. Perhaps this happened to one of the prior rescue dogs when given benadryl.

Benadryl, Claritin and Zyrtec for canine patients since the combination seems to help just a bit more than a single antihistamine alone. However please discuss antihistamine use with your veterinarian before instituting. There is another prescription anti-itch product called Apoquel, which will help but it has side effects and Apoquel should be discussed with your veterinarian to see if it is right for your dog.

Hydroxyzine or "Atarax" is a antihistamine, and it seems like thats the first thing that doctors like to try a person out on. It doesnt work that good for Extreme anxiety, but have "heard" that it works alright..."not great" for mild anxiety. Its allot safer then Benzos "Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan" and non addicting. Hiope it works for you.

You should avoid substances to which you have documented allergies to. Take oral antihistamine medications like loratadine and see if it helps with your symptoms. You could be having associated rhinitis which would present in this way and not show up on the CT or MRI - you should take some steam inhalation, saline nasal drops and oral antihistamine medications like loratadine or cetrizine and see if it helps with your symptoms.

You should try some steam inhalation and saline nasal drops along with oral antihistamine medications and see if it helps with your symptoms. You could also take some oral pain releif medications. Are you allergic to any specific substances? It is in fact a good idea to consult an allergy specialist and get a clinical evaluation. You should consult your symptoms if your symptoms still persist. Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts. Hope this helps.

How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.

Thanks, I had seen some where making use of Benadryl antihistamine oral for dogs... making some adjustment for weight. Thus a 20 pound Westie would be a small fraction of a pill. I just now wonder too if the antihistamine oral might also be of some help with the skin.... I'll stick to one experiment at at time, otherwise the results can't be mapped to one action. I may try Gold Bond, that too had come to mind, in fact I tried a little a few weeks back and decided not to continue.

Try steam inhalation, saline nasal drops, breathing exercises, and oral antihistamine medications and see if they help. Let us know about what your doctor tells you and keep us posted on how you are doing. Hope this helps. Good luck.

It's sweet that you don't want to upset your daughter but I have the same types of allergies and I just had to move my dogs outside. The longer I kept them in the house the worse the symptoms got. I don't know about how Allegra would help your skin, it is an antihistamine though so it would probably help with it minimally. I would suggest you get an emulsifying ointment from your pharmacist though.

my legs and stomach are allways itching to the point I scratch so much they start to bleed im wondering if it is becuse I sleep in my undewear and have to little dogs that sleep with me and my wife and they are allways next to my legs or my side but is it becuse of the dogs or could

I get migraines like you and since being pregnant I get them almost everyday in My second trimester, I finally got approved to take midol but it has to have tynenol, caffine, and the antihistamine. No advil,ir motrin. I was perscribed foricet but didnt feel good about it since it was addicting.

I am severely allergic to dogs and cats. Asthma, runny nose, etc.; I break out in hives if one licks me. Been like this since childhood, though my symptoms have lessened over the years. I'm now 47. My parents got a dog a few years ago, but over time I have acclimated somewhat and now this particular animal doesn't seem to other me. I do not live with them, so my contact with the dog was sporadic. My wife would like to buy a dog.

No sir. Please see a veterinarian. There are a variety of reasons dogs have constipation and that must be diagnosed by a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and proper treatment given. Human meds are almost never proper to give to pets. Doses are different, reactions are different and in some cases even an innocent med can cause death of a pet. Please consult a D.V.M.

You could take some oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications like loratadine or cetrizine and see if it helps with your symptoms. Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions to help soothe the itching. Have you had allergic reactions in the past? Are you allergic to any specific substances?

There are indeed some human medications that dogs can take (usually in much lower doses) ... BUT many human medications are not safe for dogs! The reason why some canine medications are more expensive is because they are prepared in a completely different way, even though the actual medication content may be no different.

I sometimes have so much drainage that I have to take oral antihistamine, too. I hate it, because the oral antihistamine is so sedating.
