| Benadryl dosage? 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!! |

| Jazzie has allergies too. I switched her food to Natural Balance Potato & Duck formula and it's helped her a lot. On the advise of her board certified veterinary dermatologist, I give her Tavist. 1/2 pill 2 times a day. The Tavist I was told to give is 1.34mg. Jazzie is 10 pounds. Since Jaden weighs 4 pounds, I would give him 1/4 pill. Check with your vet first before giving him anything. Good luck! I hope Jaden feels better soon.

| Thank you all so much for all the information and help! It helped to calm me down so much! I've never personally owned a yorkie before and he's so small sometimes I get a little paranoid. Anyway, his allergies seem to be better today Thanks again!! |

| Thank you so much! Yes it is very scary! Like having a little baby and being a first time Mom...probably worse though because as a human I can have a better idea as to what to do for another human...witha yorkie its entirely different, what would make me feel better doesn't always work for them. Luckily though he is doing much better today! Thanks for all the help and encouragement! |
