Whether or not to give out dosages online can be a touchy subject at times. At one time or another, I have given out dosages for antihistamines, pepto, benadryl, and pepcid (and maybe a few others). Most of these dosages are searchable online (and we have a dosage thread in ER), so I often figure why not just help them out by giving it...but it's a tough call, and not everyone agrees. I think when giving out dosages, one should always give the caveat to check with a vet. Also, I always triple check what dose I'm posting before posting it, bc I'm so paranoid about giving out the wrong info.

I do think it's especially important for EVERY owner to know what the proper dose for Benadryl is. Benadryl can literally save a life, so it's something I think we all should know by heart, or have posted in our house somewhere.
