You should ask a veterinarian. They will tell you the proper form of benadryl, and the dosage depending on the animal's size.
1ml of benadryl can have a dog for each pound.
25mg should be perfectly fine. You can give him that every 8 hours.
an 8 lb. dog needs 16 mg of Benadryl, so you can give it one teaspoon ofchildren's benadryl which has 12.5 mg. make sure it is regular benadryl and doesn't contain acetaminophen (to check, look at the active ingredients in the box or bottle).
No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give your dog.
one milligram per pound.
My dog has allergies and the vet told me to give her a childrens dose but I would imagine it would depend upon the weight of the dog.
Yes
can diabetic take benadryl
I am a registered Vet assistant, and have been working at a vet clinic for some time. WE give liquid and pill form benadryl quite often to dogs. The rule of thumb is 1mg per pound. For example: a 25lb dog can take 25mg of benadryl. I read on a veterinarian hospital page that you were NOT supposed to give the liquid form of benadryl to dogs.
This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.
Yes
The general recommendation for Benadryl dosage for dogs is 1mg per 1lb of body weight. For a 22lb dog, this would equate to 22mg of Benadryl. However, it is always best to consult with a veterinarian before giving any medication to your pet.
