Benadryl ?

Every once in a while my bully breaks out in hives. I have not been able to figure out what is causing them I have been giving him one benadryl pill when I see them but I am not sure if this is enough. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the correct dosage. He is 65lbs. Thanks!

Dosage for dogs:

basically you can give 1mg per pound, so for a 65lb dog I would give two tablets (they are 25mg each tablet) and this can be repeated every 8hrs if needed. Note at the higher dose the dog may become sleepy. If the hives don't go down by end of day two, consult your vet. happy.gif

the dosage is 1 mg per pound of body weight...

if you have the 25 mg tablets, you can give 2 tablets twice a day.
