Leigh! (congrats on your promotion!!!! are you now a 'moderator'???)

I have heard others say they use aspirin and benylin on their dogs. Someone told me recently that there was an anti-histamine that was safe too. As I have a very allergic chinese crested, I would like to give it a try. Has anyone else heard of or tried this?

Thanx Rachel :-)

I have used over the counter anti-histamine liquids on Reef' the Grief when he has a *turn*. I don't use them all the time, only if he flares up. He does have regular doses of Garlic Oil and Vitamin C and this has undoubtably helped.

If you type canine anti-histamine into a Search Engine you will get a lot of info on the subject

Thanks for the info old Bean. I'm dying to catch up on all the gossip, as well as hear more about your new job! (does this mean you get to sit next to Mark at all your committee meetings??? - so just what does he look like??? lol lol)

Do I have to go into the Idle Chat department to do all my chatterings?

PS the board is looking GREAT! good job Queenie!:)

Haven't used Benedril myself, but it has been listed as ok :-)
