can diabetic take benadryl
25mg should be perfectly fine. You can give him that every 8 hours.
I just called the emergency clinic because my basset has hives from who knows what. We've been giving her 50mg of benadryl every 8 hours and she is 65lbs. Its supposed to be 1mg per pound. They said that we can give her the benadryl every 4-6 hours for now since she has hives.
The standard benadryl (diphenhydramine) dose for a dog is 1 milligram (1mg) per pound every 8-12 hours. For example a 25 pound dog could get 25mg of benadryl two to three times per day. This can cause drowsiness. if your dog is too sleepy after dosing you can give 1/2 a dose. I am not a veterinarian and I recommend that you never give any medication (even over the counter medication like benadryl) without first consulting a veterinarian.

The better question is, how do you know that your dog is having an Anaphylactic reaction?
It depends on the dosage of Benadryl (Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (HCL)). The recommended dosage is 1-2mg per lb of the dog. So your 20lb pug would need approximately 20-40mg. The standard Benadryl tablet is 25mg. So give your dog roughly 1-1.5 Benadryl tablets every 8-12 hours as needed for symptoms.
The FDA requires generic drugs to have the same characteristics as the branded drug. The store-brand generic version of Benadryl will be every bit as effective and safe.
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!)
1ml of benadryl can have a dog for each pound.
No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give your dog.
