I looked it up in the Merck drug reference book I have and it is an antihistamine.  She said it is gnarly tasting and causes kittys to foam at the mouth and I am hesitant to use it if there is something gentler available.  I seem to remember someone posting a while back about giving pediatric decongestant to a kitty, but can't remember which kind.  Any feedback will be most helpful. I keep it in stock..just in case...it works great..I don t have the dose right now though..I THINK its a half tab....   Lisa and fur-brats Akira--FeLV miracle baby www.geocities.com/anzajaguar Indy-- Truley Indian Jones as a cat..FEARLESS Lance- Mini wire haired dashchund Bow-Tie- 2yr old (ssshhhh he doesnt know he is 15 :) ) jack russel cross Bennie Bird-- Vampire cockatiel Anza-- sexist Senegal parrot..deffinantly a ladies bird :)
