Temaril p is a combination antihistamine and steroid used to help with allergies. Some dogs have environmental allergies that are seasonal and based in exposure. This can be to things such as dust, pollen, grasses...things you can't control. They do make safer immunosuppressive medicine such as Apoquel that helps with this if needed

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. The Temaril medication can cause the increased appetite along with other side effects since it is a steroid medication. There are better options out there now, even prescription medications. For more natural remedies, I recommend the following: 1. Welactin omega 3 fish oil 2. Duoxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 3. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent All of the above mentioned products can be found online quite easily. If these do not work and holistic remedies are not helping, I would speak with your veterinarian about alternative options to Temaril. There are newer medications such as Apoquel and Cytopoint that are safer than the Temaril that Lulu is currently on. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

It all depends on how she responds to treatment. Temaril P is basically a steroid, so your vet is aiming to decrease acute airway inflammation right now. It's possible she'll able to come of medication entirely, or she may need a low dose of steroid long term. She could also need a couch medication long term.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! 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!

Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. Temaril is a combination product of a steroid (suppresses the immune system, is an anti-inflammatory), as well as an anti-histamine (counters the histamine affect that is produced by allergies). Another possibility (less likely given the breed/age of Zeek) is a collapsing trachea (weak airway) where the steroid helped with the inflammation. The fact that Zeek responded to this medication, and it has come back when off it, is suggestive that there is either an allergy that is present that requires longer treatment, or small airway disease where the anti-inflammatory effect helped open up the airways. I recommend discussing with your vet if they feel this is seasonal allergies, and if so discusss a medication you can use longer term through the season (discuss Apoquel), as steroids long term can be hard on the body. Best of luck with Zeek!
