Yes, you can give Benadryl to a Yorkie.

When Princess Sophie came home after her spay surgery, she was rubbing her head all around on the carpet. I checked her ears, nothing there, checked through her head hair and found nothing. Called the vet and was told that sometimes dogs will do that after surgery. I think she said it had something to do with the anesthesia. I could be wrong. Well, long story short, she told me I needed to give her 5 ml of liquid benadryl which would stop the itching. Otherwise, she would move from rubbing her head on the carpet to scratching her head leading to more problems.

Note: Princess Sophie weighs 4 lbs. 13 oz.

I would recommend you check with your vet regarding how much you could safely give your pup determined by their weight.

Good luck, I hope your pup feels better very soon!!
