We have given our dogs benadryl for some ailments with great success. However, this medication may not be the appropriate course of action for a swollen neck. Please take the time to contact a veterinarian for the appropriate advice and treatment recommendation.

Benadryl is an anti-histamine, not a pain reliever. If you feel your dog would benefit from pain medication, you will need to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe and effective pain medications available for dogs, but you will need a veterinary prescription to get them.

No. You can get all sorts of sprays the best one I have gotten is called Allercaine and its at Petsmart. It stops the itching and has a bad taste so they wont lick it

OK. Here it is. This happened to my German Shepard, yesterday! Step 1. Get a plastic baggie. Put ice in it (5 to 8). Wrap it in some napkins. Step 2. Hold it on your dog's swollen leg for about... 10 or 20 minutes, depending on how bad the swelling is. Step 3. Make your dog feel comforted with your free hand, favorite squeaky toys, dog treats, etc.


What do I do about a very swollen dog bite my dog has on his paw and leg and i can't afford a vet now?

Call a vet, explain your situation and ask their advice.That much won't cost you a thing.Since you describe it as "very swollen," it sounds like the bite could be infected, and your dog needs care in a hurry. If it is infected and you wait too long, your dog could lose his leg, or even die. Some vets might sympathize with your situation and offer to treat your dog for free, or let you pay a little bit at a time. Good luck!
