[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 657746, member: 17461"] Our little guy has allergies, too. I agree that it could be fleas. If that is not the problem, it could be allergies to pollen ~ the same kind of thing humans get when exposed to something we are allergic to, too. Claritin or benadryl are safe for our dogs. Call your vet to clarify dosage. Our vet told us that unless wheezing or itching are causing the animal to suffer, we do not need to treat. They are not like us, worrying about why they aren't breathing well, or why they are itching. Try benedryl first. If your dog becomes sleepy or lethargic, switch to claritin. Clarify with your vet before trying either medication, okay? I don't really know everything. I just pretend to, here on the site. :O) Cedar P.S. I wouldn't give either medication on a regular basis. When the symptoms really seem to bother him or her, that is when I would give half the dose the vet recommends, based on the animal's weight. If that doesn't help, then go to whatever dose the vet initially recommended. [/QUOTE]
