12.5 mg/ 5 ml = 2.5 mg/ml, so the dosages between what your vet initially said and the sticky are the same.
3 ml = 7.5 mg of benadryl, so I'm guessing he based his calculation on a 7 lb dog.
It's a great idea to do the test dose because some dogs (and kids) get a paradoxical reaction to the medication and it actually makes them more hyper. |
yep my dd became real hyper jumping from dog bed to dog bed. I called specialty hospital and said she is like a dog on crack or something. They said uh oh she cannot take it then as some dogs it sedates and some it makes them hyper. So I am the lucky one with the hyper one. She had hives and we were trying to control hives with benedryl rather than upping her temarilp so we had to up the temarilp to get through the 5 days of hives. She got the hives after being on simplicef for 17 days due to staph infection so she cannot take simplicef anymore.
When she was hyper the hives were gone so we knew it was not the hives causing it but the benedryl. Hives are oh so much fun. We have dealt with them twice now and of course one time on Easter and the other at 11 pm in the evening. Luckily specialty hospital we go to is 24/7 and they help us by phone.
