[Dailydrool] Benadryl and severe allergies, kinda long

[AnitaW]

We are big believers in Benadryl here also, for people and for doggies (but
NEVER for cats, it can kill cats).  There's always a big bottle in the
cabinet in case of need.  I've never tried Tramadol for us or the dogs, so I
can't comment on it one way or the other.  So why am I commenting at all?
Because of Miss Holly the Dolly, BABES, who has extremely severe outdoor
allergies.  

 

You need to know that we are in Texas, and allergy season starts in February
and runs through October, then picks up again for a couple of weeks in
December, then starts all over again in February.  Okay, so Holly comes to
live with us, and she has the worst outdoor allergies I've ever seen, she
itches 24 hours a day, scratchscratchscratch, bite, licklick, bite,
scratchscratchscratch, on and on all day and all night.  We tried the
Benadryl, maximum dose, and it would slow the itching down a little but
definitely did not stop it.  The poor girl would itch all the hair off her
belly and have red bloody streaks all over from itching.  The Vet wanted to
put her on steroids, but I had a cat who died of cancer caused by steroids,
so I'm trying every possible thing I can to avoid the steroids.  Tried
several herbal and homeopathic things but nothing really worked, and then
one day I'm at the health food store looking for something new to try and
came across something called ALLERTONIC.  It has about eight different
herbal and homeopathic remedies all together in one capsule, and I decided
to try it, and it worked.  She still itched, but it was at a tolerable
level.  

 

So this year I started giving Holly the Allertonic a week or two before
allergy season started, one capsule twice a day.  Well everyone knows what a
horrible allergy season it's being, but guess what.  Holly has not scratched
one time.  Seriously, not one allergic itch.  It's a real miracle.  She was
so bad last year that at one point I thought it's either the steroids or
we're going to have to put her to sleep.  

 

Anyway, Benadryl is great.but if you have a dog with a serious allergy
problem that Benadryl is not able to stop, try the Allertonic.  It's been a
lifesaver for Holly.
