well I have seen it and have seen it was given wrong - you can call an ER vet or a 24 hr pharmacy they will give you the dose over the phone as I have done it. If they live far away from vet pick up the phone and CALL and we can tell them to do so. If you give to much of benedryl it can amp a dog up so high then that can cause a medical problem as that drug can amp a dog up or sedate a dog- all drugs can be harmful given in high doseages no matter what it is
