If it's a true URI, benadryl probably won't work anyway. Benadryl is an antihistamine and more helpful for Allergies. You'll need antibiotics most likely, in which case you need a vet to prescribe. You can always look for an emergency vet clinic or just wait until your vet's office is open (assuming it's just after hours and they'll be open the next day). URI's can become serious and sometimes be a sign of something fatal(Felv, FIV, FIP), but it's not typically instantly fatal.

No, you can't.
have a cat that hates to be brushed...what can i do?
No! Benadryl is a human drug, for human use only! If you must give your cat medication, take it to a vet and have them diagnose it. The medicine they perscribe may be similar to Benadryl, but it really isn't safe to put it anywhere near a cat.
You can give 0.5-1mg of benadryl per pound
No. You should never give a cat human medicine as it is all too easy to give them the wrong dosage and this could be lethal. If your cat is hurt, the best thing to do is to take him to the vet who can prescribe medication that is safe for your cat to take.
It is safe to give cats benadryl when you have the proper dosing. Consult your veterinarian to find out how many mg per pound you should be giving before hand. Also, ask if there are any possible side effects or interactions if your pet is currently on medacation. Benadryl is often used by veterinarians as a sedative as well as an antihistamine, but there are other options.
Can I give Childrens Benadryl with Childrens Nyquil?
Benadryl is a medication intended for humans not animals. There is a risk of a slow and painful death if given to a cat or any other animal.
what
Never give a cat human medicine. Human medicine is much stronger than cat or dog medicine and you could easily overdose the cat. The sneezing and watery eyes could be a sign of Respiratory Infection (cat flu). Take it to a vet just in case.
can diabetic take benadryl
No.
Before giving your cat any medication, please consult your vet first! Only your vet will be able to tell you the correct dosage for your cat. A cat drooling after giving Benadryl seems to be common. A cat will drool or foam at the mouth when eating something with an unpleasant taste, so it is likely that Benadryl does not taste pleasant to a cat. If you are at all worried, take your cat to the vet immediately. It is very easy to overdose a cat on human medication, and if this is the case the cat will need emergency treatment.
