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.

Can you give your 20lb pug Benadryl for his seasonal allergies which are not severe?
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.

If you are prone to allergies then anything that irritates skin (including gums) can cause an allergic-type reaction. And tetanus shots can most definitely cause a reaction.
