No, do not give your kitten Benadryl. It is called Children's Benadryl" not "Kitten/Cat Benadryl". If your kitten is ill, take him/her to see a vet. A child can easily be 75 times larger than a kitten. That would be the same as a child taking an entire bottle of "Aspirin" for a headache.Not a wise choice, it may be a deadly choice. Just pop over to see the vet , he/she will make your kitten well again.

Yes. While "children's" Benadryl is marked for 2 years and up, it is a very safe drug and can be given after 1 year. The medical standard, as checked by my pharmacist, is 1.25 mg of diphenhydramine hydrachloride/kg of body weight (you may have to do a bit of math to find the right dosage - please check with your pharmacist), up to 4 times per day. As he says, one of the primary concerns is actually under-dosing leading to lack of efficacy.

However, note that for those of you hoping to send your toddlers to sleepy land, this is NOT a recommended way: Benadryl can have the stereotypical sedative effect, but it can also have the opposite effect of making a child extremely hyper or have no effect at all. Make sure you use the drug for what it is intended.
