[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 333891, member: 1963"] I would hold off on the Benadryl until you talk to the vet. Benadryl does help with sneezing and watery eyes, but it does so by thickening secretions. In this case, unless the vet says to use it; you are probably better not using the antihistamine. You don't want to thicken secretions, have them build up, and have ME wind up with a sinus infection. Again, talk to the vet. I do a lot of home-doctoring on my pets, but I am by no means a vet. I sure as heck wouldn't prescribe for something like this. Another thing that may help, if she'll drink it, is warm chicken broth. It is soothing to the membranes and may help her get rid of more of the crud in her nose as it thins secretions. [/QUOTE]
