Posted this in the health section, thought I'd post it here to as I didn't know where it would be most appropriate...

************************************************** **
Jaden seemed to be having some allergy issues lately so I talked with his breeder and she's been breeding and showing dogs for over 40 years now. She told me to give him childrens benadryl the liquid kind in the cherry flavor. She said because he waw only four pounds to give him 1 c.c I looked up the measurement for this and equaled 1/5 teaspoon so I gave him a little less than 1/4 teaspoon. He seems tired now and when he goes to sleep it seems like he's breathing a litttle fast. He's done the fast breathing thing before but I just wanted to check on here for the dosage thing since I'm feeling a little paranoid at the moment. So, has anyone else on here giving benadryl to their dogs this size and if so was it close to the same amount I gave him.
Please let me know!!
