Benadryl For My Puppy!!!?

Question

Ok so i gave one to my pup...its a childrens Benadryl...but how do i know how much to give her????she weighs 26.8 pounds???
THANKS~

Answer 1

1 pill for every 25lbs (1mg/lb and the usual dose per pill is 25mg)3 times/day. That's what a vet told me when my dog broke out in hives and i didn't have the money to take him in for a check up. It worked. Also if your dog gets carsick , like on a long trip, you can give it to them. it makes them drowsey.

Answer 2

Benadryl For Puppies

Answer 3

Clearly all the people saying not to give Benadryl at all are just going on gut reaction.

It is OK to give your dog benadryl for allergic reactions. My own vet has recommended it to me in the past. You have to take a look on the box and pick the correct dosage based on whether your dog, if it were a human, would have a weight considered "adult" or "child'. A 27 lb. dog definately would get a child's dosage, but not an infant dosage.

Dont' freak out. Give the puppy the Benadryl in the amount and frequency recomended for young children that is written on the box.

Answer 4

You should ask your vet when to give them benadryl and how much, but yes... dogs can have benadryl. For bee sting allergies and immunization reactions, I have been told by many vets to give 1 mg per pound of dog. (My dogs are 15, 18, 30, and 50 lbs.) I always call the vet immediately to let them know what is happening, in case I have to take them in. I only administer this in dangerous cases, where the swelling and hives are fast and severe. Anything less than that is treated with a cold washcloth.

If she is having a reaction to something, watch her closely. If her head or neck swells to the point where she has difficulty breathing, she may be in danger. Call your vet immediately, as she may need a shot of something stronger. Never give more benadryl if the first dose doesn't work. I believe the dosage for a dog can only be administered every 8-10 hours. More than that may injure her.

Please call a vet and ask for the proper dosage for your dog.

Answer 5

Some dogs, like those that are purebred may be allergic to certain things, like ant bites and they can swell up do to an allergic reaction, and their throat can even become swolen shut. Benadryl counteracts this reaction. The vet can give them a shot, and he may also suggest you keep some on hand at your home. If you are unsure about how much you should give your dog (do not give it to them if you do not have a reason) contact your vet.

A while back, one of my Dachshunds got a shot at the vet and when I brought her home, I noticed her head started to look weird, and she was acting funny. We rushed her back to the vet and by the time we got her there, she was so bloated you could hardly recognize her. The vet gave her a shot of benadryl and told us that it would probably take a day or so for the bloatedness to go down, but she slept the entire evening.

Answer 6

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Answer 7

I am not sure why some of these so called "Experts" are fussing at you for giving your dog Benadryl. My own personal vet RECOMMENDS giving dogs Benadryl for allergic reactions, and such. I had an adult dog with a skin disease and the Benadryl (one regular) helped her to relax, and the sensation to scratch calmed down. I am sure one children's Benadryl is fine. See how it works, and take care.

Answer 8

1 mg. per pound, never give to a puppy less than 4 months old see the Vet. Liquid Benadryl has alcohol so it's never good to give liquid in any case but if you must then do so with the Vet's knowledge incase of reaction.

I'm not certain I would use Benadryl to calm your dog, It is safe to give to dogs, but I'm not sure of the dosage for your animal, ask a vet about that . Limit playtime if you are concerned about her surgery site, and no swimming or baths for at least a week.
