Help for your slipping dog
Choosing surgery for your senior dog is never an easy decision. Many dog owners have expressed some version of this sentiment to me: “My veterinarian is recommending a procedure for my umpteen-year-old dog, but I’m scared. Is my dog too old for surgery?”
This paradigm is prevalent, but it’s a myth we must dispel.
Benadryl (also known as diphenhydramine) is extremely safe for dogs. Unlike many other human medications that have marked potential for causing harm, oral Benadryl has a wide margin of safety. And even though it’s not a drug I administer or prescribe often, it’s safe and helpful for treating several conditions in dogs.
