My mom's coworker has a female BT that she gives a half of a Benadryl to for sinuses. Is this actually good for BT's?

Vet Tech here. Yes... Benadryl's safe even daily. One 25mg every 8 hrs.
Try Zymox ( non prescription ) for ears.
Good luck!!

I'm going to try wellness food for my boston. He to suffers from terrible allergies. I'm going to try wellness simple solutions food. I guess I can get it at petco in my area. Supposedly it is a simple food....that has only 5 main ingredients....I'll try anything at this point. his ears are so swollen and red I wonder if he can even hear? It looks terribly painful. Will post and let you know how I make out.

Benadryl for Bostons
by: Kathleen

My vet had me give Shadow one half of a Benadryl for an allergic reaction one time to reduce swelling. I'm not sure it's something I'd give him every day, though. I don't think I'd take Benadryl every day myself. Hopefully, she's consulted her vet...
