greytluck Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 My cousins dog (husky mix) is having an allergic reaction to something and their vet isn't open until monday. Her dog is around 40 lbs how much benadryl is safe to give? My cousin is really is stressed as her dog is scratching herself raw.

Guest verthib Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I use half of that recommended dosage and it works. I try to use the least dose possible of any med. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
