Yes, it is a common thing. I worked in an animal hospital for years as the pharmacy tech. Deramaxx can be damaging to a dogs liver or kidneys because it is an NSAID-so when a vet puts a dog on it, she usually recommends blood work every few months. Benedryl, while still being metabolized in the liver, is not as harmful. Some dogs take it every day for Allergies. Just listen to your vets recommendations and following the guidlines. I believe a pet should be comfortable, because they dont understand pain or Allergies. Just trust your vet and listen to your pet!
Do NOT give your dog human medication. Seek the advise of a vet..
Yes, you can use Benadryl and Frontline together. The two medications do not have adverse reactions if used together.

The strength of the two compounds in Frontline is the same in each weight category for dogs. Those compounds are fipronil 9.8 percent and S- methoprene 8.8 percent in each dose of Frontline. The S-methoprene is higher in the dosages for cats at 11.8 percent.
Benadryl and hydroxyzine are both antihistamines, but they are not the same medication.
You should follow the same instructions for administration and dosage amounts that the box recommends for humans. Benadryl is completely safe to use on dogs.
At 8 weeks old, the kittens are a little too young and using Frontline flea treatment may do more harm than good. The safest method for kittens this age is to use a flea comb on all the kittens, and comb them twice a day until no adult fleas are seen.
Frontline Flea and Tick DropsI don't know what "HEB Plus" IS, however if you are looking for a good deal on Frontline Flea and Tick drops,I use an online source called www.petsuppliesnet.com . This is the same Frontline that you would get in the U.S. but this is shipped from Australia and is much less expensive. I've been using this company for a little over two years now and they have been great. I normally receive my order within 7 days and that all the way from Australia.
Yes you can, as the ingredients are identical in the dog and cat versions. Cats require a smaller dose of 0.50ml FIPROGUARD is the same thing as FRONTLINE. Frontline PLUS/Fiproguard PLUS for Dogs contains (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 8.8%) whereas Frontline PLUS/Fiproguard PLUS for Cats contains (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 11.8%) Pets are given a minimum dose of 0.067ml of Fiproguard solution per kilogram of bodyweight. So a 10kg Dog needs a dose of 0.67ml Cats are given a set dose of 0.50ml (assuming the cat is no heavier than 7.5kg) Frontline PLUS/Fiproguard PLUS for Dogs contains exactly the same concentration of Fipronil (the main ingredient which kills fleas, ticks, and lice) as the Frontline Plus for Cats formula. The only difference is the Dog version contains a tiny 3% LESS of the ingredient methoprene than the cat formula. It should not be any less effective as it's just an insect growth regulator.
The FDA requires generic drugs to have the same characteristics as the branded drug. The store-brand generic version of Benadryl will be every bit as effective and safe.
Frontline for Dogs is not dangerous to cats (or Frontline for Cats to dogs). They are simply different doses of the same active ingredients (because of the species differences). Frontline for Dogs will still work on cats - but not at the same efficiency (towards the end of the month) as Frontline for Cats. Therefore you should always use the correct product for the species.
I would not recommend it. I do know you should never put the canine Frontline on a cat. You should use the canine Frontline for the dog according to his weight and the same for a cat, use feline Frontline only. Why mix them?
Im not sure.. But I took like 175mg of benadryl and I got sleepy as s@%t.. not high but felt a little out of it :p
No, it's best to never mix drugs of the same basic function because it can cause very dangerous side effects.
