Q: I have heard that there is a way to treat dogs with non-prescription
drugs such as Benadryl and Advil. In fact, someone told me that they
once saw a list that defined the proper doses of such medications
depending on the breed and size of the dog. Have you heard of such
a list? If so, have you an idea where I can get one?
A: I am not aware of such a list. I would recommend consulting with
your veterinarian regarding nonprescription drugs for their uses and
doses. By the way, I would NOT recommend using Advil for a dog.
