For those of you who follow, I wrote a blog a few months ago
about Georgie’s Dermatitis caused by her allergies. I tried the children’s liquid Benedryl with a syringe down her throat,
all she did was hiss, spit it up (all over the house) foam at the mouth and
hide. Then I tried shoving a Benedryl
pill down her throat, that didn’t work either. I tried putting it in her food,
both crushed and liquid, she wouldn’t touch it.
I ended taking her to the vet for a steroid shot, which worked. But that usually only lasts a month and it’s
not good to give them too often. So I had
a thought, because cat’s groom themselves so often, I would put the liquid
Benedryl on her coat. I don’t know if
it’s a coincidence and her allergies just aren’t as severe, but I think it’s
working. She probably takes her paw,
licks it, wipes her fur, licks it again and so on… like cat’s do. She still has
a few bumps but it is so much better.
