Re: (Pee Club) and for Michelle......over grooming again :(
Lol! I was wrong on the dosage. It's 25 mg per mL, but the dose is .1 mL, so it's 2.5 grams per dose or 5 grams total per day.

Re: (Pee Club) and for Michelle......over grooming again :(
I had it compounded into a cream for her ears to make it easier to give it to her. She is overgrooming her tummy and her 2 back legs to where there is very little hair yet. The vet says it's allergies and recommended prednisolone. We tried the baths, but she really HATED that! her benadryl dose is 25 mg. twice daily. t[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is the dose, and why is she getting it? And why in her ears? You can actually give Benadryl orally to cats, the dosage is 1MG per pound, so since a tablet is 25MG, you'd need to give a little less than 1/2 a tablet to a 10 pound cat, or if you buy the capsules, you can dissolve the opened capsule's powder into a bit of water, shake well, and only give 1/3 of the liquid, OR use children's benadryl liquid, but I'm not sure the strength of that, so you'd have to do the math. When you say she is overgrooming, do you mean she is cleaning one spot until she has no hair left? For Mythic's skin itchies, I just used a good quality aloe cat shampoo and bathed him once a week, and it seemed to help him a lot. The vet gave me a special shampoo, but I found some stuff at the hardware store that seems to help even more. The stuff the vet sold me is made by Virbac, and it's called Epi-Soothe Shampoo (label says available through vets only, and no number). The stuff that works better for Mythic, is made by TropiClean, and it's called Aloe Moist Natural Shampoo (1-800-542-7387). I wont ever buy any other kind of shampoo again, it's really awesome stuff, smells great too. Mythic also got shots at the vet for a while, I'd have to dig up his records to tell you what it was though. They only last for a couple of weeks, wasn't really worth the trip. Changing his food to one with no grains helped more than anything, his hair is still thin, but he does not scratch much at all now.

Re: (Pee Club) and for Michelle......over grooming again :(
I think that is the dose that Patches gets. It's been so long that I've been doing it and I go by the unit marks on the syringes, that I have forgotten the actual dose. Patches may get more, actually. I think the vet had said to give her 6 mg of benadryl orally, so I assume he would have prescribed at least as much transdermally. You can try giving her 6 mg (1/4 of an over-the-counter 25 mg pill) orally. It would be ok-- my vet said they can get a whole 25 mg pill for extreme anxiety and recommended I give a whole one to Lucy when we move because she freaks out so much in the car. I should tell you that even with the benadryl cream Patches does still overgroom, in that the hair never fully grows back on her belly and back legs. But without it she is totally bald there and licks herself raw, She at least has some hair there on the benadryl and feliway (diffuser plus I spray the edges of the room she hangs out in most every morning and, if I remember, at night). Amitryptaline seems to be used for a lot of anxiety-caused behavior problems. Maybe it would help with this?

(Pee Club) and for Michelle......over grooming again :(
Ha! My cats run for cover if anyone shows up here. But if they stay very long and lay a coat down or a purse or some papers, or whatever, a few will show up soon enough to see if there's anything worth peeing on! Actually my positive, DD is my friendliest cat to strangers. DD is still overgrooming with the benadryl cream. It doesn't seem to effect her.
