Hives

How much benydryl do you give a 1 year old that suddenly broke out in hives and is very itchy?

Thanks

Roanne

I would start by giving the childrens dosage

whatever is recommended on the package.

1 mg per lb of the dogs bodyweight

is how much we give Onslow.  He's about 60lbs so we give him (2) 25 mg caplets.  Hope your baby is feeling better!
