That should be up to your Veterinarian. Benadryl can be used at first as an emergency medication but then your pet should be taken to your Veterinarian to be checked out and treated from there. Do not self medicate your dog.
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.
Dogs should not be given human medicine.
I gave my 10lb dog 15mg of benadril what should I expect
You should ask a veterinarian. They will tell you the proper form of benadryl, and the dosage depending on the animal's size.
This is a worrying question. Please stop giving your dog benadryl.
Yes; Benadryl can be used for dog allergies. You should check with your veterinarian as to the correct dosage since it is based on the dogs weight.
can diabetic take benadryl
Age is not a factor when giving Benadryl to dogs. The factor is the weight of the dog. The rule is that your dog should have no more than 1mg (milligram) of Benadryl per lb (pound) of weight. So if your dog is 5lbs, that would be no more than 5mg. You should consult a vet first, however, as it is possible for dogs to be allergic to the medication.
Yes !! do not use that much. What are you giving it to your dog for? Remember there are 2 kinds of Benadryl an antihistimine and a decongestant. Assuming you are using the anithistamine, I'd check with your vet.
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).
1ml of benadryl can have a dog for each pound.
I was taking Prednisone for a sinus infection (3 a day for two days then 2 for 2 days then one pill a day) and I take benadryl regularly for my allergies. I asked my doctor and he told me it would be fine to take Benadryl as well as prednisone.
