I do the same. Especially after Duncan was bitten by a spider, I think, when he was little. I use to work night shift, and the day before my shift would start, I would stay up all night and do laundry, any cleaning and such.
Well, one morning, I was taking a break and Duncan was laying on the floor quiet (very unususal, but it was late), when I noticed his face was swelling up in two spots. I looked close at him and it looked like two puncture marks at each of the bite sites. I was so scared!!! I gave him half of an adult Benedryl, since that was all I had. The bites were on his upper lip area, and I was afraid the swelling would cut off his breathing. My vet opened at 07:30 in the morning and I was on the phone dialing nonstop until someone answered. So, now I keep some Benedryl Children's Meltaways on hand. (So much easier to give than pills)
