Benedryl Dose?
Submitted by Redflame on January 25, 2012 - 2:01pmOk, Kippah is almost 7months old, she weighs 32 pounds (my sweet chunky monkey)
I gave her ONE this morning at 7, (25 mg) ...I almost gave her two, but I looked up on Google and it said 30 pound dog should have 20-25mg....But we all know we dont have DOGS, we have Bullies.......is this what you would do?
Is that the correct doseage for her weight? and so I wait the 8 hours the bottle says, or give it more often?
THANKS, Im stuck at the office all day, and worried sick.......just hives, but remember, I cried when I had to leave her for eye surgery Saturday.....and I dont cry easy either....well, all y'all know what I am sayin'

I have a "rule of thumb" but double check with your vet!
My vet said that Benadryl can be given in a dosage of 1mg per pound of dog. Winston's right at that 50ish threshold, 1 helps the itchies, and 2 completely knock him out (or make him a walking zombie). I'd stick with one for Miss Kippah until she's older and has a few more LBS on her frame. :)
I hope she feels better quickly!!

The vet tech told me something similar, but I trust you guys more than her.
My vet is taking care of 5 animals that were rescued from a house fire last night....poor guy, he is strectch thin this morning!
