Answer #1

well I would report the person you spoke to, I work at a vet hospital and we are never allowed to make the people feel stupid no matter how uneducated they may be about animals.

Answer #2

wow im really sorry they treated you that way and truthfully they really cannot be talking since they work for you. You can give your kid what ever you think is right YOU are her mother. You should call back and yell at them. but remember still it is always better to check the labels first just incase. you never know.

Answer #3

thats bull, you can give a child medicine as long as it is the recommended dosage

they dont recommend it usually but you did nothing wrong

it could be a cold/flu, stomache virus. . . .y dont you check webmd.com

Answer #4

My sister had a problem where her daughter got really sick and the doctor wouldnt see her just told her to give her benadryl now 4 days later she took her somewhere else and come to find out it was an allergic reaction to amoxicillan .. Take her to a different doctor and tell the others to f* off.. As far as meds go give her what you feel is right I know someone that gave their child tums at like 1 and hes still aliveā€¦
