This website says to divide the dogs weight by 2.5, so 7/2.5=2.8. A teaspoon is 5ml, so I'd give him 1/2 teaspoon. http://culverpalmsanimalhospital.com...s/Benadryl.pdf
They also agree with giving 1/4 of a pill for a dog this size. |
Thanks for sharing this information!!! I'm so glad you're on here to give me the correct dosage. I would HATE to over dose my Buddybear.
The article I was referring to didn't break down the info so precisely. Thank You again.
