Temaril p is a combination antihistamine and steroid used to help with allergies. Some dogs have environmental allergies that are seasonal and based in exposure. This can be to things such as dust, pollen, grasses...things you can't control. They do make safer immunosuppressive medicine such as Apoquel that helps with this if needed

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. The Temaril medication can cause the increased appetite along with other side effects since it is a steroid medication. There are better options out there now, even prescription medications. For more natural remedies, I recommend the following: 1. Welactin omega 3 fish oil 2. Duoxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 3. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent All of the above mentioned products can be found online quite easily. If these do not work and holistic remedies are not helping, I would speak with your veterinarian about alternative options to Temaril. There are newer medications such as Apoquel and Cytopoint that are safer than the Temaril that Lulu is currently on. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. Temaril is a combination product of a steroid (suppresses the immune system, is an anti-inflammatory), as well as an anti-histamine (counters the histamine affect that is produced by allergies). Another possibility (less likely given the breed/age of Zeek) is a collapsing trachea (weak airway) where the steroid helped with the inflammation. The fact that Zeek responded to this medication, and it has come back when off it, is suggestive that there is either an allergy that is present that requires longer treatment, or small airway disease where the anti-inflammatory effect helped open up the airways. I recommend discussing with your vet if they feel this is seasonal allergies, and if so discusss a medication you can use longer term through the season (discuss Apoquel), as steroids long term can be hard on the body. Best of luck with Zeek!

Temaril-P is safe to give daily. It is tapered down like this because this is required if taking the pet off the medication. So here moving forward I would suggest to give it daily and then discuss with your vet about getting additional refills of the medication before you run out so that you can safely taper him down, if at all. Temaril-P is considered an allergy medication for dogs, but it also has anti-tussive (anti-cough) properties as well. I hope that things improve with Juju moving forward. Take care.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Don’t panic! Benedryl can be safely given with Temeril-p . It may cause some drowsiness because the temeril-p already has an antihistamine in it but it sounds like that was the goal so no worries! Continue giving the Temeril P as prescribed. Best of luck to you and Mikko!
