cetrizine for possible allergic reaction?

[AmandaKay]

My ittle just woke up with a slightly puffy face and itching pretty badly, both of which are abnormal for her.
I am not sure, but I am thinking she ate or got into something that she is having an allergic reaction to. I do not have any childrens benedryl on hand, but do have children's cetrizine. Can this be use instead of benedryl, or no? If so, doseage and tips to administer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

The 'D' version not safe for pets, including rodents. Personally, I wouldn't recommend 'Zyrtex'; the inactive ingredients, geared to human use, aren't needed for use in pets, let alone healthy for them. In a research review, it was found to be toxic to rodents in higher doses used for humans, that is by weight.

(Titanium dioxide; Polyethylene glycol; Colloidal Silicon Dioxide; Magnesium Stearate, etc..)

There is a safer alternative natural source that counters allergic responses that you may want to consider.

While no single natural remedy is universally the "strongest" antihistamine, 'quercetin', a flavonoid found in many fruits and vegetables like apples, onions, and berries, is widely recognized for its potent antihistamine properties.

Quercetin:
Mechanism: Quercetin is a flavonoid that helps stabilize mast cells, which release histamine, a key player in allergic reactions.
