Default How much Liquid Benedryl?

I am kinda confused here. Roxy has really bad seasonal allergies. Last week was beyond horrible for her, the scratching was driving me insane, so I know my poor little girl didn't feel good.

I called the Vet and made an appt. but in the meantime, they told me to feed her 1/2 of a children's chewable benedryl 2 times a day. So I went out to Walmart and bought them, they were grape flavored and 12.5 ml per pill.

I had the Vet appt. the next day (I brought the box with me). He checked her over and said to continue to give her 1/2 pill now 3 times a day. And that I will have to do this until the season is over for her.
(She has been eating them since last Tuesday night)

Now I have reading on here to ONLY give the DYE FREE kind
I am scared now....WHY only the Dye Free kind??? I mean it makes perfect sense and I am going to Walgreen's after work to go get it, but I am scared that the chewables are bad??? But then why would the Vet say ok??

Also how much do I give her? She is 5.3 lbs. and the Vet said 3x a day for the chewables (12.5 ml) = 6.25 ml each time (3x a day)
Do, I just do the same with the liquid???? Please HELP ME
