My dog has itchy skin and subsides with Temaril-P He is 4 years old, he has nothing in the skin. I did the Scan food test and he has the diet that is agreed according to the test. I have been using shampoo with clorhexidin and the itch comes and go.
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

My dog was prescribed temaril-p and she has peed in the house a few times since her 2nd dose. Is this normal? She is 9 years old and house trained and never has any issues.
Yes, this is a common side effect of this medication. Temaril-P contains prednisolone, which is a steroid - this is very effective at relieving allergy-related itching as well as a variety of other conditions, but it often causes increased thirst and urination as a side effect. In some dogs, this can be severe enough to cause urinary accidents in the house. This isn't dangerous at all, but can definitely be annoying for dog owners! I would recommend calling your veterinarian in the morning to let them know that Marley is having this problem. He/she may recommend reducing her dose to decrease the chance of further accidents.

My dog has taken temaril twice daily last 2 days today she very lethargic and shaking. Can I stop the meds
Hello and thank you for contacting Boop by Petco. Temaril is used primarily for treating allergic skin problems. If Minnie is not showing any symptoms of an allergy (for example itchy skin, ears inflammation, red skin on paws and on the abdomen) but she looks lethargic and unwell, she probably does not need Temaril at the moment. Please, get in touch with your regular vets as soon as they are available to confirm that the tablets should be stopped and to book an appointment for Minnie to make sure she is OK.

My dog has a very bad skin allergies and is on Sure Temaril. Is there a better holistic way of treating her. She is always hungry
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.

My 11lb Pom (6 years) has just been diagnosed via x-ray, with a collapsed trachea. I understand this is a progressive disease that needs management now. We will be aiming to get her down to 9.5/10lbs, getting a air purifier, we’ve got the harness. I
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.
