I've given my dog this medication. I believe that's the generic name for benadryl. I would use the children's version of benadryl and dose according to the animals weight. (I'm not a veterinarian and have no medical training so YMMV)
There is not much of a difference between the two of these. They are diphenhydramine in different salt forms but will have the same effect. Diphenhydramine citrate will be slightly more readily absorbed in the body than HCl.

diphenhydramine HCL
how to break down 25mg pills diphenhydramine hcl so that i can shoot them up
yes, its a pill
That's diphenhydramine HCl (H C L), not HCI. Diphenhydramine is the active ingredient in Benadryl, as well. It causes drowsiness.
You would probably get an overdose of antihistamine, would not recommend it.
No, you shouldn't mix Benadryl (diphenhydramine) with Neurontin (gabapentin) unless your vet has said it's okay, and has told you the correct dose of medications. Taken together, they can effect the central nervous system of your dog and possibly also depress the respiratory system.
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.
My friend had taken 25 mg of Diphenhydramine, and 500mg of Methocarbamol, and didn't have any problems. They reported being real sleepy. Ask your Doctor, though. What works for others, may not work for you.
The dose of diphenhydramine goes by the dog's weight, not it's age. The standard dose is 1 mg per pound of weight, every 8 hours. For a 20 lb. dog, the doese is 20 mg of diphenhydramine. If you think your dog is having an emergency, call your vet's office. Don't wait for help from any Internet helpline.
Yes, Benedryl (Diphenhydramine HCL) is excreted mainly though urine. However, some of it is also excreted though feces.
