[Dailydrool] hydroxyzine

[Beverly Szaton]

Is the same as Atarax which is just another anti-histamine.

However.
I would add a word of caution. While I know Atarax has been used, I always
ALWAYS check with the Vet before I give a medication that I have not used
before. My dog may have a medical condition that changes the way the
medication affects him, that the other dogs on the Drool do not have.  Or
perhaps there is a side effect I should be watching for that wasn't
mentioned. Or maybe my Vet has some really good reason for not suggesting
it-- such as having a significant number of dogs have an adverse reaction to
that drug.

This is a personal choice. I just don't usually trust my own judgement on a
"new" medication.

In this case it is probably just fine, but sometimes, it isn't. I'm just
very neurotic.
