what is the dose that you use for piriton? I've got two retrievers who have both been bitten and are now chewing their fur off and scratching their bites....

Hi - my poor dog has a nasty rash on his tummy and privates. It seems to be every time he goes in the grass (never appears in the winter) so I am going to buy some antihistamines for him. Could anyone tell me how much I should give him? Thank you x

A vet I know prescribed two piriton a day for Spence when he had skin problems last year.

Am I imagining this or can you use piriton for travel sickness too?
Tilly can only manage about 40 mins in the car before she throws up

I know piriton is ok. Selkie once chewed up and ate a whole packet! She stole them from my bedside table while I slept. 30 tablets.. I rushed her to the vets and we phoned the poisons and toxins people... after a while they said an overdose of piriton should have no adverse effects other than extreme drowsiness.

Selkie was sleepy for 2 days and drank gallons of water, but otherwise fine... Not that I advocate it, or would say t was safe, but if she can survive 30 tablets, the odd one for an insect bite is unlikely to hurt

AlI I know is I got a large pack of Piriton for my brood, and was told to give 2 a time. I've never tried Piriteze which I assume your thinking of.

I have five dogs and one we think got bit by something. Her names daisy and her face has swollen up and shes fine? We've given her Piriton and it's knocked her out cold.
