Thank you for using Boop by Petco! While hydroxyzine is an antihistamine commonly used for allergies and might cause mild sedation in dogs, it is unlikely to resolve Hunter’s separation anxiety. I recommend trying positive reinforcement, providing distractions, or even using calming supplements for dogs or a product known as a “thundershirt” prior to resorting to medications. You should consult with your vet regarding any medications you may want to give to Hunter to confirm that there will be no interactions with anything he is currently taking and that the dose is appropriate for his size.

Hydroxyzine and Diphenhydramine are both human anti-histamines commonly utilized in the vet field for allergies. Histamines do not directly affect the liver, but will certainly have indirect effects.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is possibly due to allergies. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing her allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. If you are able to find a way to avoid what is causing the allergies, you may be able to stop the hydroxyzine. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market).

Thanks for using Boop by Petco. The hydroxizine itself doesn't usually cause diarrhea (we use it in dogs too). However, I worry that there could be an inactive ingredient causing Bayley trouble (artificial sweetener? alcohol? flavoring?). If the diarrhea is still profuse or if you see any other signs, call the Pet Poison Helpline and head toward the nearest emergency vet. The Pet Poison experts will also consult with your veterinarian on the recommended treatment throughout the case. Be sure to have your daughter's bottle of medication with you to give them all the ingredients, strength, etc. Pet Poison Helpline 855-764-7661 Best of luck to you and Bayley.
