Re: ABFE - Emergency essence

Patches does this from anxiety. it is not an allergy with her, it is anxiety. But she does not do it anymore, because I put compounded transdermal benadryl in her ears twice a day. If I stop doing that, because I run out or something, she picks right up and starts at her belly and legs again. But if she gets it twice a day, the hair all grows back and she doesn't do it. The benadryl just takes the edge off, I guess.   Even though benadryl is not a prescription, you need your vet to call in a prescription to a compounding pharmacy to get it compounded to transdermal. Don't use the benadryl cream from the drug store-- that is topical cream, not transdermal.   Michelle   In a message dated 7/4/2006 7:57:06 P.M.
