Benadryl and acepromazine in combination on itching dog
My scottie (3yo female neutered) seems to be suffering from flea allergies. I have treated her with Frontline but she continues to dig & scratch at herself. I would like to give her some benadryl. I have read online the dose is 0.5-2 mg/Lb two times per day. Is this correct? I am getting ready to go on vacation and my brother will be keeping her. She has suffered from separtion anxiety before so I got a prescription of Acepromazine 25 mg refilled for my brother to give her if she needs it. Can the benadryl and the acepromazine be given at the same time?

Cat vomiting after exploratory surgery
My cat (2yo Silver Persian female neutered) had exploratory surgery 4 days ago. She seems to have an appetite, but vomits if the tiniest amount of food is swallowed. A biopsy was taken in her stomach at the time of the exploratory. Can you tell me possible reasons why she is still vomiting?

Cat with chlamydia
My 9 yr old cat (orange tabby female neutered Domestic short hair) has been diagnosed with severe Chlamydia, within the last year, causing her to wheeze & cough continuously, runny-stuffy nose, wet eyes, everything. My vet won’t prescribe any more Zeniquin because continued use can cause retinal damage, but it’s the only thing that seems to help her breath easier. What more can I do?

Dog with collapsed trachea
My dog (5yo female neutered Pekingnese) has been diagnosed at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston, to have a collapsed trachea. I understand this is common with the brachycephalic breeds. Her trachea collapse is on the end of the trachea closest to her heart and lungs, and exhibits on her exhale. She is otherwise extremely healthy and active and only rarely does this condition seem to slow her down. I have seen other Pekes, Pugs, French bulldogs that are affected much more than she is, who also appear to be active and not too affected by the condition. My question is this: Will her collapsed trachea degenerate further as she gets older, or does the area of the trachea affected by collapse generally remain the same throughout the lifetime of the dog. What signs should I look for to know if her condition is changing? Is there any help for her?
