GET HIM TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY. Zyrtec may be harmful or fatal to dogs if it is swallowed.
The dosage you give to a dog is about 5ml by Sophie loves dan
i have been using zyrtec 24hr and i hear my allergies are getting worse and its not the meds wearing off. so shall i increase the amount of zyrtec i consume?
Consult your veterinarian. Do not administer medication to a dog, unless you have specific directions on dosage.
In clinical trials with dogs they used 1mg of zyrtec per 2 pounds of dog. So a 20 pound dog can take 10mg although with my 18 pound shiba the vet recommended 5mg. I would err on the lower dose.
It says on the package.
children benadril,is fine when dog has an allergy to something. Dosage depends on how big you dog is, but shouldn't exceed a normal child's dosage.
1 mg per 2 lbs of weight
You don't change the dosage. You were given the necessary dosage. It will be given to the dog long before the expiration date arrives.
Dogs can have either Zyrtec or Robitussin DM (or CF). These medications are for two different purposes, they can't be used interchangeably. Zyrtec is an allergy medication, and Robitussin is a cough suppressant. Your vet can advise you of the proper medication and dose for your dog, based on it's weight and the condition your dog has.
How long has dog had diarrhea? Hard to advise.
In my experience with my dog, the phenobarb helped immediately. I think it depends mostly on the size of dog and dosage.
