Benadryl alternatives

Post by ShelbysMom »

Crystal is doing better with her allergies. We gave her 1/2 Benadryl daily and that seems to relieve the itching. Her paws are looking great and she's not licking them. However, it seems to make her slightly incontinent.
Are there any other safe antihistamine alternatives?

there are many, chlorpheniramine etc. but if benqadryl is working i would not switch cause you got a blod level built up and might not be good to rock the boat....

Chlorpheniramine and Zyrtec seem to be the two that get the best results other than Benadryl...I would ask your vet before switching.
