Loading ...After a busy night in Peds and viruses came home last to a dog having a allergic life threading crisis I’ve never seen in her before. Quickly gave her a Predisone and a antibiotic for all the scratching which was a challenge cuz she was in a panic with bumps all over her and you could see it in her eyes she was in trouble trying to run it off. She has a history so keep extra meds handy and sure came in handy. The vet hospitals were closed ” full” I knew the meds could take awhile so des codes to sedate her preferably knock her out cuz she was in so much distress. Gave her a pain pill and ran off to the liquor store only place could get in out fast found Benadryl and checked online to see what’s safe and dosage which is 1 mg per weight but like people not for respiratory issues which wasn’t the case but guessing less from allergic reaction.Gave her 50mg although she’s about 70 Lbs didn’t want to over do it. Something vets don’t tell you so a mix of med knowledge. Well after the pain meds and Benadryl she calmed down and short time later was like nothing happened and the bumps all over her gone.
This is a ongoing issue and seems to be getting worse. Hate to keep her in predisone all the time because it’s immune compromising.
After sedating her sedating her decided to sedate myself with a couple of drinks don’t do of term but came in handy esp after a worse day at work today. . Always something. Anyone had dogs with allergies?
