Sneezing and itchingQ: My vet says that my pug might have allergies. she is 4yrs. old. he suggested that i give her benadril twice a day. she sneezes when we are outside, and when she gets near my son's guinia pig. she also has one certain spot that she scratches on her leg. i have also been giving her the product "dream coat" to help w/ allerrgies. any suggestions? A: I am not familiar with product dream coat; could be good one, but old reliable flax seed oil added to food at 1 tea per 20 pounds of body weight daily is usually excellent choice. if benadryl no help you could try other antihistamines like chlortrimeton at 2mg twice daily or amitryptylline at 10 mg twice daily

Thunderstorms, rain, lighteningQ: Our dog is on clomipramine can we also use rescue remedy along with this, or should we take off the clomipramine and just use rescue remedy. i don't like clomipramine, it makes him do things he usually does not do. also if we do the rescue remedy is this fast acting or does it time to take effect. thank you A: Resue remedy is not an immediate response product. it does take time to build up effectiveness in the pet's body. also, do not discontinue clompiramine without consulting your veterinarian first. this type of medication requires a weaning off process.
