Benedry won't hurt our furry friends. Recommended dose, according to my vet would be 1mg per pound of dog. So if your little one weighs 6 lbs, you'd give 6 mg. Look at the bottle. Somewhere on it there should be a dosage indicating how many mg/ml. On my bottle of children's benedryl it says 12.5mg in each teaspoon (which is 5 ml). If you do your math, a half a teaspoon should be just the right dose for your little one.
When I have to give it to my babies, I use an infant oral syringe so I give the right dose and I've made sure it goes down. They're prone to spitting it out. |
