Hello:
I know Lucas's condition and food allergies is an old topic here, but I need help. I gave Lucas chicken on Thursday to see if he was allergic to it and he starting getting red, but he is worse today, he is having an awful allergic reaction! I need to give him something to stop him from scratching, my vet doesn't want to prescribe something for that so i wanted to know, can I give him zyrtec? If so, how much? I have some here and I'm too scared to give it to him, I wanted to give him 1/4 of a pill, but I don't know. I know someone once told me here that I could give him zyrtec, I just don't remember how much. He is on 2.5mg of prednisolone, which is obviously not helping.
If someone knows, please help. I don't want to give him benadryl because he starts salivating and he feels bad enough right now.
As of today, he is allergic to duck, chicken and turkey. But I will wait a month or more before trying new food, can't stand seeing him like this. The only reason I'm doing it is because I need to find the right food for him, I think he is having an allergic reaction to the hills z/d, so I need a new plan.
Take a look at how he looks right now, I just took the pics. I feel so awful because I did this to him!
