Thread: Quick Morning Hunt With The Missus & Lill Bro

@tikka Yes we do the same & my missus runs Stables on our Farm as well with horses attracting them , so our Daughter who is a Veterinarian sent us this that may help others with doses of human antihistamine dosages for dogs, as long as the dose measure is correct their is no problem using the human version in a emergency or far away from Vet care : Just like recommending hand loads make sure it works OK for you

dexchlorpheniramine (Polaramine®) – available as 2 or 6 mg tablets. The dose is

one 2 mg tablet for dogs under 15 kg

one 6 mg tablet dogs over 15 kg

promethazine (Phenergan®) – available as 10 and 25 mg tablets and 5 mg/ml elixir. The dose is:

1 mg/kg (round up the dose to the nearest tablet or half tablet)

fexofenadine (Telfast®) – available as 60 mg capsules and 120 or 180 mg tablets. The dose is

5–10 mg/kg (round up the dose to the nearest tablet or half tablet)

loratadine (Claratyne®) – available as 10 mg tablets. The dose is

5–20 mg/dog (round up the dose to the nearest tablet or half tablet)

cetirizine (Zyrtec®) – available as 10 mg tablets and either 1 mg/ml or 10 mg/ml oral solution. The dosage is

5–20 mg/dog (round up the dose to the nearest tablet or half tablet)

It is also important to monitor a dog if it is knocked around by the Stings or more likely multiple stings ,some will have gastro intestine/vomiting problems ,which aids the sting toxin spread, where a trip to the Vet is best .All dogs particularly if stung multiple times should be watched for 12–24 hours min .

Hope info helps someone
