Question by hdp2496: can dogs take benedryl while taking phenobarbitol?
ok, I brought my dog to the vet for seizures. The vet prescribed him phenobarbitol. (Hope it works soon) forgot to ask her can he still continue taking the benedryl as needed for itching from allergies. Does anyone know? Is anyone’s dog on phenobarbitol and/or benedryl. I dont want to continue to give it to him for the skin allergies (its only as needed , not an everyday medicine) with the side effects of phenobarbitol. Phenobarb causes lethargy in dogs. My dog is on it (phenobarb) twice a day. Was only taking benedryl as needed. Now I dont know what to do…
Thanks scrappy..
My dog was just started on phenobarb on Wednesday evening. How long will the excessive thirst and frequent urination last…OMG it’s driving me nuts

Didn’t read much. Just call her up and ask, it’s that simple.

i have a 5 year old Yorkie Terrior…he has itchy skin, so i check him everyday for fleas.and only have found one..i dont think he has anymore but he still itches….i think its allergies….i heared you can give dogs Bendryl for itchy skin…is it ok to give some to him being so small…..

I have read in reputable sources that a small dose, (cutting capsule of benedryl in half or thirds) to ease the itching of fleas on dogs……..what are your opinions? thanks…….s,t, from Oh
