| Overdosed dog with Benadryl by mistake How serious is it if my husband gave my dog about two or three times the recommended dosage of Benadryl? He misread CCs vs ml....

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I found this It is hard to overdose on Benadryl with an animal or human, but it does happen in rare cases. The main signs of overdose are swollen limbs and difficulty breathing. A major overdose can even lead to death. In case of an overdose, the owner needs to induce vomiting in their pet and contact their veterinarian immediately.

When I look at some of my elderly parents medication, the dose is sometimes written in YELLOW on WHITE, in teensy lettering - or even kind of imprinted into the cardboard like reverse braille.....it drives me mad, and is surely very dangerous?

| When we gets meds at the vet, our vet tech marks a line on the syringe with permanent marker at the exact amount to be administered (don't know if everyone's vet does this?). But I thought it was so great, that I rubberbanded syringes to all the meds in ZoE's first aid kit with the exact amount clearly lined. It was great last summer when she was stung, and I grabbed the benedryl and knew exactly what to give her...then we headed to the vet for a quick check up. Of course, I only have one dog, so I don't need to worry about different sizes/weights of multiple dogs.
