Call your vet.

Only under veterinary supervision so you can be sure of the right dose - and if in fact allergies are the problem. Plus Benadryl does not sort out all allergies - die has to be taken into consideration as well, even if it isn't a dietary allergy.

When it comes to medicating your dog use nothing unless the vets say so. This is plain and simple. And really all you have to do is call your vet office the people who answers the phone can just go to the vet and ask. It is best to get answers from a vet office then a yahoo office. One man medicine can mean another man death.

Yes, but PLEASE consult a vet before you do. Benadryl may have serious side effects that you need to be aware of and the dosing will depend on the size and breed of your dog, so you should consult a vet before dispensing....

Yes you can, but check with your vet for specific instructions like giving it before or with a meal etc.

Yes.
Try the liquid one and keep in mind the weight of the dog. If it is a small one give baby or child dose..
