Q&A: Bad itchy reaction after going to vet. Any home remedies?
Question by Muffster: Bad itchy reaction after going to vet. Any home remedies?
My dog had a rash near his testicles. So we took him to the vet. They applied betadine with some other solution. Later tonight it went bad…. Seems it gave him a very bad itch on the entire place. residual betadine on skin caused itching and also made him wanting to vomit if in case he licked and scratched himself. So bad that he was panting restlessly went crazy and couldn’t rest a moment. It was going bad so we called nearby vet and he said it’s just betadine that he licked made him restless.
Now we washed his skin anyway with his shampoo. Isn’t there a home remedy for getting rid of allergy and soothing the skin?
Chihuahua of three years.
Isn’t benadryl for cough?

Do you have any Cortisone or Benadryl lotion? A benadryl tablet may calm him down too.

You can give the dog Benedryl, but you must know your dog’s exact weight.
The dosage is “up to 2 mg per pound, every 8 hours”.
My English Bulldog had similar issues w. his skin on his belly, testes and shaft area. My vet has us giving him 2 benadryl in the morn, 2 at night and one pepcid ac pill to settle his stomach. I noticed a large improvement after 24- 36 hrs .
