There is no set dose for an 8 pound dog; veterinarians typically prescribe within a certain range based upon the dog's symptoms and what the prednisone is being used to treat. Prednisone is a powerful drug with the potential for serious side effects, particularly in such a small dog. If you believe your dog needs treatment with prednisone, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination.
None, unless prescribed by a vet.
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!)

No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give your dog.
Just went to the vet and he switched our dog from duramax to prednisone. They DO NOT mix well. Doing so can severely hurt your dog.
It is not recommended to give any animal any human medicine, or any medicine at all without a veteranarian's perscription.
It depends upon what exactly you are giving - it would be way too much prednisone, but possibly not enough cephalexin depending upon the infection.
No. In fact, you should wait at least one week after the last dose of carprofen (Rimadyl) before starting prednisone, or another NSAID.
When giving Prednisone to your dog they have to slowly be taken off of the medication. Do not abruptly stop giving this medication to your pet as it will have serious side effects.
I used to get my dog's prednisone filled at the drug store.
I am assuming that your dog is under a Veterinarian's care? Go to your Vet and advise him or her of the problems you are having and that way your Vet can adjust the dosages of Pred that he is giving. Why would you ask this question on the internet, go to your Veterinarian.
