I can get cheap prednisolone if anyones intrested! I've heard that Piriton is the only safe anti-histamine tablet (not sure about liquids) for dogs so I'd be careful about using anything just to save a couple of quid. Sure some will dispute Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure some will dispute i can assure you both piriton and benadryl are safe for them both tablets and liquid i was told this by my vet when my lurchers head swelled up like a balloon due to a plant allergy they dont cure it but they stop it getting worse, i personaly wouldnt use the cheap supermarket brands without first makeing sure they where safe. there are a few human drugs that can safely be used in dogs.
