Benadryl can be dangerous for cats and can even be fatal if given in the wrong dose.
Here's why you should never give your cat medication without professional advice:
* Dosage: Cats are much smaller than humans and have different metabolisms. A dose safe for a human can be toxic to a cat.
* Interactions: Certain medications can interact dangerously with other medications or existing health conditions your cat may have.
* Underlying causes: Scratching the face could be a symptom of a serious underlying condition like allergies, parasites, or even a fungal infection. Only a vet can properly diagnose and treat the root cause.
Instead of giving Benadryl, please take your cat to the veterinarian immediately. They can:
* Determine the cause of the scratching.
* Prescribe safe and effective medication for your cat.
* Ensure your cat receives the proper treatment.
Please prioritize your cat's health and well-being by seeking professional veterinary care.
