In general, Rimadyl's side effects are less significant for most dogs as compared to the side effects of Prednisone -- but the biggest risk of problems comes from having both of these drugs in the dog's system at the same time. In general, when changing over from one to the other, we try to aim for a 48 hour "washout period", to allow one drug to clear before introducing the other. If you gave a dose of Rimadyl earlier today, I would not suggest using Prednisone for at least another day and a half, if we're trying to do what's safest.

The better question is, how do you know that your dog is having an Anaphylactic reaction?
1ml of benadryl can have a dog for each pound.
No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give your dog.
My dog has allergies and the vet told me to give her a childrens dose but I would imagine it would depend upon the weight of the dog.
no that wont do nothin to the animal
It is generally safe to give rimadyl to dogs without a blood test, as long as they are younger than 7 years old and do not have preexisting health issues. However, it is always best to consult with a veterinarian before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for your dog.
an 8 lb. dog needs 16 mg of Benadryl, so you can give it one teaspoon ofchildren's benadryl which has 12.5 mg. make sure it is regular benadryl and doesn't contain acetaminophen (to check, look at the active ingredients in the box or bottle).
