Hey Tonya,
I just attempted to have some Chlorphenarimine / Chlor Trimeton compounded
into an ear cream. They got it wrong and made a liquid for oral
consumption. The pharmacy said the ear cream would be $50.
I'm curious - how much do you get and how much does it cost?
I didn't know you could give kitties Benadryl, so interested in that.
My problem is Lancelot - got him in January,February - declawed, outdoors
for two months. He had the sniffles. I've tried everything - Lysine,
Interferon, antibiotics, most recently a depo shot, which of course did
help some. THought I'd do the ear cream because he's so hard to pill.
Anyhow - any suggestions are appreciated, and info on *ear cream* !

I had it compounded into a cream for her ears to make it easier to give it
to her. She is overgrooming her tummy and her 2 back legs to where there
is very little hair yet. The vet says it's allergies and recommended
prednisolone. We tried the baths, but she really HATED that!
her benadryl dose is 25 mg. twice daily.

What is the dose, and why is she getting it? And why in her ears? You can
actually give Benadryl orally to cats, the dosage is 1MG per pound, so
since a tablet is 25MG, you'd need to give a little less than 1/2 a tablet
to a 10 pound cat, or if you buy the capsules, you can dissolve the opened
capsule's powder into a bit of water, shake well, and only give 1/3 of the
liquid, OR use children's benadryl liquid, but I'm not sure the strength
of that, so you'd have to do the math. When you say she is overgrooming,
do you mean she is cleaning one spot until she has no hair left? For
Mythic's skin itchies, I just used a good quality aloe cat shampoo and
bathed him once a week, and it seemed to help him a lot. The vet gave me a
special shampoo, but I found some stuff at the hardware store that seems
to help even more. The stuff the vet sold me is made by Virbac, and it's
called Epi-Soothe Shampoo (label says available through vets only, and no
number). The stuff that works better for Mythic, is made by TropiClean,
and it's called Aloe Moist Natural Shampoo (1-800-542-7387). I wont ever
buy any other kind of shampoo again, it's really awesome stuff, smells
great too. Mythic also got shots at the vet for a while, I'd have to dig
up his records to tell you what it was though. They only last for a couple
of weeks, wasn't really worth the trip. Changing his food to one with no
grains helped more than anything, his hair is still thin, but he does not
scratch much at all now.

DD is still overgrooming with the benadryl cream. It doesn't seem to
effect her. Her dosage is 1mL twice daily (alternate ears) do you
remember what you used? I saved some other ideas I may try next, but the
pharmacist said my prescription was a very 'low' dose. I wonder if my vet
prescribed a low dose because she didn't think it would work and I
insisted on trying it? My vet can be like that............
