So it turns out that this year Potter has been seriously affected by what my vet thinks are seasonal allergies. He got an awful rash and scratched himself silly before we realized that's what it was. After an initial antibiotic to clear up his rash, the vet wanted me to try just giving him Benadryl to see if that would be effective enough without further medical intervention. This morning was the first time I gave it to him and it did seem to work...at first. But it has clearly worn off.
So, here's my question: do any of you all know how many times a day I can give him Benadryl? The vet told me I can give him 1 25mg tablet for 25lbs (Potter weighs 80lbs), but to start with 2 tablets initially. But he didn't say if I need to give him 2 more tablets 6 hours later or what. Should I just give him 3 tablets to start or give him 2 tablets every 12 hours or so?
Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
