what is the dose for Benadryl given to a 3 lb cat?

She is constantly sneezing. We have already used the course of antibiotics given.
I happen to know you can give Benadryl to both cats and dogs for allergies. I used to work in a Vet’s office and filled many prescriptions for them. I simply have for gotten the dose of mg per lb.

I have severe allergies and nothing seems to help, so I’m trying everything. I remember a couple years ago after taking Benedryl I practically passed out because I was so tired from it. My question is, how long does it take usually? Thanks so much.

I heard give half a pill of benadryl could do the trick for my dogs allergies. But can I try half of Loratadine instead benadryl?

I think I have year round allergies (dust etc.)
I constantly sneeze, cough and have a runny nose.
I also have REALLY dark purple circles around my eyes.
They have a sunken appearance which makes them more noticable.
If they are caused by allergies….would taking allergy medication get rid of them?

Thanks!

Why do antihistamines make you hungry?




I’ve been taking a lot of Benedryl the last few weeks. I picked up a cold when leaving Jackson, WY a week and a half ago. And the climate changes across the US, from Wyoming all the way to my home in Georgia (vast difference in plant types and humidity) just aggravated my allergies even more. But I’ve been ridiculously hungry since then. I’m taking 2 capsules of Benedryl about 3x/day. I know it’s what’s making me hungry, but why? I have to control these allergies but I can’t keep eating and gaining weight like this! Help!

I know people who give their dogs Benadryl for allergies or even spider bites, I’m wondering can you give them Claritin if you don’t have Benadryl?

Thanks, I’m not an idiot and of course I wouldn’t just give a dog anything, I just thought asking around was a good idea. Thanks to all that took time to answer.

Can antihistamines affect blood pressure?




When I take antihistamines everyday I have almost normal blood pressure. When I stop taking antihistamines my BP keeps going back up. I should by no means have high BP. I do have a family history of it, but we are all very athletic and fit so I don’t get it.
Im taking antihistamines for allergies and I just happened to notice the effect it has on my BP. My BP isn’t high enough to be on BP meds, it’s just kind of high for someone like me.
