Hi. I saw the thread for medicines, etc. after I posted this thread. uL is microliters, if I'm not mistaken. And that was me not being able to read the vet's handwriting. I bought the Benadryl liquid and it says it's 250mg/ 100mL. I'm not a pharmacist, but I'm guessing if you change the reading to 1mL then my baby would be getting 2.5 mg of diphenhydramine? I'm a little confused on how that works. Her vet said to give her 3 mL to relax her before flying. He also said to try it out first before we travel to make sure it doesn't have any negative effects on her. I tried giving her 1.5 mL instead of the 3 to see if it would calm her down and it didn't do anything. Next week I'm going to try giving her 2mL to see if that calms her down. It scares me a bit to give her the full 3 mL. I hate giving her meds but she just stresses out too much on the plane. She doesn't bark or anything, but she pants the whole way and it breaks my heart to see her stressing out like that.
