Answer
Hi Linda, Increase his NuVET to 2 wafers per day for 5 days.
Also, I bet it would be fine with your vet to give him 1 of a 25 mg Benadryl today and 1 night.
Most vets will tell folks to give Benadryl over the phone.

See your vet if this continues after 3 days.  
Keep me posted!!!!
Glad to hear from you guys...
