i don't remember what the dosage is per pound

but my vet didn't recommend a very high dosage either b/c they

get dry mouth and they get irritable as well...

1 25 mg tablet per 25 pounds, so she gets 1 pill

to give a 4.5 old puppy benadryl.  It is so rare for puppies to have allergies at this young age.  Before doping her I would consult your vet and make sure she isn't sick. 

If you decide to give Benadryl check to see if you can fine a child allergy pill instead of adult. 

Thank you all...

for your advice. I appreciate it. I contacted my vet and he recommended Reactine and only 5 mg per day. I think I will leave her a few more days and see if it improves. I do not think she is ill as she is totally fine in all other ways. But I will not rush into any medication either. Thanks again.
