We don't normally give out dosage info, but for Benadryl we always do -- this is bc it can literally safe a dog's life in the case of a sting or allergic reaction...so you should always have Benadryl in your doggie emergency kit. The dose is 1-2mg per pound, so you'd give 5-10mg. |
Ok , thank you . He seems to fine now after the vinegar rinse so I am thinking it is just the ingredients in the grooming stuff I was using . I will keep an eye on him though .
Thanks for clarifying the Benadryl thing . I was not sure if we were allowed to give out dosage info for that .
