As long as the discharge from the nose is clear, then yes, you can try an antihistamine. Priton (chlorpheneramine) is not the best. You are better off using loratadine - 10mg by mouth once a day (should be one tablet). ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Haylief-Loratadine-Hayfever-Allergy-Tablets/dp/6041257966 ) If the discharge is discolored (green or yellow) or he is acting ill in any other way (not eating, coughing, lethargic, vomiting, etc) then he should see a vet. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Zirtek (cetirizine) and Chlor Trimeton (chlorpheneramine) are all available in the UK. Discuss other options, both OTC and prescription, with your veterinarian. Read labels carefully and avoid any antihistamine with paracetamol.

Both of these products contain an antihistamine called chlorphenarimine which does come in feline formulations. There are also several other options for controlling allergies including prescription medications and over the counter medications.

Yes, you can do that as it has been almost 6 hours since her dose of chlorpheniramine. You don't want to dose them any closer together than that. If she is really 134 pounds she will need quite a large dose of Benadryl. The dose is 1-2 mg/# so essentially she needs at least 134mg. It comes in 25mg capsules. So, I suggest you give her 150mg or 6 capsules. People always balk at this but dogs take a much higher dose than humans due to the way they metabolize it so yes, I really did say 6 capsules. Hope this helps. Please post again if you have more questions. Take care!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! If you are referring to chlorpheneramine in 4mg tablets she should be fine. I wouldn’t give her anymore until tomorrow. If this is not the drug or size of the pill please repost. Have a great day.
