Hello everyone. I have a quick question about Benadryl. I just want to verify the information. My baby gets a little nervous when we fly, so I wanted to help calm her down a little bit, without needing to sedate her. I spoke to her vet and he told me to get the liquid Benadryl that's 250mg/160 ul and giver her 3-4 mL every 8 hours. My baby is about 4.3 pounds. I tried verifying the information online, but people just have listed the amounts of liquid that should be given and not amount of medicine that's in the Benadryl. I don't know if I'm being unclear. I hope I'm not being too confusing.
I would only give her 1 dose, about 1 hour before we leave for the airport so by the time we board the plane, it should start calming her down a bit. I'm going to buy it later today and do a test dose at home so in case anything goes wrong, the vet is nearby. Thanks everyone for the help.
