You should never give human medication to a dog - dogs can have very severe reactions to human medication, including death. Also, the causes and underlying processes that cause a dog to appear to have a cold can be very different from what causes a cold in humans.j

If your dog appears to be mildly ill - sneezing, runny eyes, tired, not interested in eating, you can try watching him for 24 hours to see if he gets better on his own. If he is also vomiting, has diarrhea, appears to be in pain or is running a fever (a rectal thermometer reading of 103.5 or higher is a fever in a dog), you should take him to the veterinarian for examination.

In many cases, dogs can get mild upper respiratory viral infections that they clear on their own without any medication.

Yes it is safe to give your dog childrens benadryl tablets but you should also give them a vitamin c tablet with this. This should only be used until you can take your dog to your vet who can treat them with steroids.

TavistClemastine, known as Tavist and other names, is used for dermatitis or skin problems. Fish Oil CapsulesThe omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil work in the skin to help ease allergy problems in dogs.Fatty acids in flaxseed help lubricate the skin and prevent allergy problems.

What dose of human antihistamine should you give to your dog?

Yes you can. I use a generic benadryl, ( it's cheaper and does the same thing as name brand.) you give 1 mg per pound of body weight. So, if your dog wieghs 50 pounds give 2 of the 25 mg tablets. Make sure you buy tablets and not capsules if you have a 10 pound dog you can break the tablet in half. My dog weighs about 54-56 pounds, I still give him 2 tablets. It doesn't have to be exact. you can give your dog the meds 2-4 times a day if needed. My dog has seasonal allergies so I give it to her at night so she isn't up all night itching.
