| How much benadryl and how often? My JPop seems to have some sort of alergy; maybe to the new springtime grass??? I'm just not sure what is making him itch. Bath time is the same, food is the same; new sprigs of grass is all I can think of. Anyway, I gave him 1/2 teaspoon of benadryl...does that sound right? and how often should I give it to him. He's 6 lbs. thanks in advance |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would check with the vet. Cali was on children's benadryl but they gave me a syringe to use but I think it was about 1/2 teaspoon.

| Here's a link to an article about giving dogs benadryl. According to this article the liquid suspension is too high in alcohol to give to dogs and only recommends giving the tablets. http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/health/benadryl.htm i think cc are the same as ml - 5ml equal 1 teaspon |
