There is no set dose for an 8 pound dog; veterinarians typically prescribe within a certain range based upon the dog's symptoms and what the prednisone is being used to treat.

Prednisone is a powerful drug with the potential for serious side effects, particularly in such a small dog. If you believe your dog needs treatment with prednisone, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination.

How much adult capsules do you give a 14 pound dog benedrayl?

A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)
