Can I give Childrens Benadryl with Childrens Nyquil?
You can give 0.5-1mg of benadryl per pound
No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give 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.
1ml of benadryl can have a dog for each pound.
For benadryl the dosage is 1mg per pound in mild cases, if there is a severe reaction such as swelling after vaccination you can use 2mg per pound.
one milligram per pound.
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.
I use an eyedropper and give mine only a couple of drops. I have to give mine Benedryl when she gets her vaccinations.Additional Answer:Dogs can have 1-2mg of Benadryl per pound, every 8 hours. This can be used to treat allergic reactions, and it also has some anti-anxiety effects. As a general rule, Benadryl is very effective for both dogs and cats, as it is for humans, and, as with humans, the primary side effect is drowsiness, with dogs and cats, as well.
1 mg per kilogram ( about 2 mg per pound).
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).
I searched for our 5 lb. Chihuahua and found an average dose recommendation of 1/4 tsp of liquid Children's Benadryl (the one that says 12.5 mg on bottle)once in the morning and in the evening. This was recommended by an online vet. I will start out with only 1/8 tsp at first, though.
