Is Benadryl safe for my dog taking heart meds like Vetmedin and Lasix?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tater-Tot. While she could be experiencing seasonal allergies, an upper respiratory tract infection is more likely given the congestion and nasal discharge. I suspect she will need antibiotic therapy to start. I am glad that you have already determined that it is not related to her heart disease as that is always the concern. If her symptoms do not improve with antibiotics or her condition worsens, then x-rays of her chest will be needed. I do not think that Benadryl will significantly improve her symptoms. hope this information helps!

It is not recommended since the combination can increase side effects such as lethargy/drowsiness or confusion. In s senior pet, this could be risky. Contact your veterinarian in the morning to discuss your concern further as well as options. If Winston is having a severe allergic reaction, consider a visit to the nearest veterinary ER.

Hi there, Rest easy, it is absolutely safe to mix Benadryl and Rimadyl. In the future, a drug called Trazodone may help him more with the noise phobia. I hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

These signs may be from the prednisolone which is a steroid. It would be better to call your vet to discuss decreasing the dose to reduce the symptoms. Benadryl does not always cause sedation and in some dogs can cause hyperexcitabilty. But, yes you can give all 3 together safely. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Don’t panic! Benedryl can be safely given with Temeril-p . It may cause some drowsiness because the temeril-p already has an antihistamine in it but it sounds like that was the goal so no worries! Continue giving the Temeril P as prescribed. Best of luck to you and Mikko!

Gabapentin and Benadryl are ok to give at the same time, however you should consult with your vet as your vet knows your dog's history and can assess the necessity/impact of Benadryl on your dog. It is likely that Benadryl in combination with the gabapentin makes your dog sleepy.

Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to give the dose information for any drug, including OTC drugs, without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. You need to speak to your vet about this.
