My dog is 15 years old and when I came home from work, she has thrown up three times and she has red rimmed eyes and her chin is red. She looks like she is itching. She’s also shaking her head a lot. Can I give her a small amount of Benadryl?

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Izzy. Unfortunately I cannot recommend giving her Benadryl, I can't say it's safe to give her. Plus it doesn't help with vomiting. I think the best thing is to have her seen by a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I hope this helps!
