As I said, if people aren't comfortable dosing, then by all means, don't. I'm not normally comfortable with it either. But I have seen a lot of people come here and say they have no vet to call. And they can call an ER hospital in their state, but some don't seem to want to do that. And not all ER vets will give it over the phone. Once Ellie had a little sore on her ear and we called to ask if we could use Neosporin. The tech wouldn't answer and said they would need to see it. lol. Um, I'm not paying $85 for you to look at a little bleeding dot. So if they can't get ahold of somebody or are concerned, then I have no problem helping. It's the same thing I would do for family. I will not tell them what doses to give. I will tell them if it looks wrong and I would tell them how much benadryl to use in an emergency.

I am following along here and don't understand the Benadryl issue and why it keeps getting brought up.
