before scooter butt crossed i had to pretreat him! i used the over the counter benadryl 1 teaspoon about 1/2 an hour to 1 hour before the shots where given! this cuts down on the shot cost! the first time after he got his shots it cost me an extra $55. that is when i asked if there was something i could give him to pretreat him at home before the visit! the dose is 1/2 teaspoon - 1 whole teaspoon for every 4 pounds of weight!
