| Well, Pip weighs over 11, so the vet said 1/2 tab, since the tabs were 25mg.

| My vet uses a formula I don't know But she told me this week to give my 3 pound, 10 ounce girl 1.4 ml of the liquid. That is to help her sleep during a flight, so I'm not sure it if would be a different amount if it was being given for allergies or rashes. |

| Cooper is 9 pounds and I give him a half a 25 mg pill and I squish it in a small piece of cheese. He gobbles it up and never knows there is a pill in there.

| Dylan broke out in hives this week and his vet prescribed 2.5 ml of the liquid benadryl every 8 hours for him. He weighs 8 lbs. It didn't help that much and I had to take him into the vet for a cortizone shot after a couple doses of the benadryl. The shot worked great and he was like a new dog in less then 1/2 hour. I hope you dog feels better. |

| 1-800-petmeds says "The usual dose in dogs and cats is 0.5-2mg/pound by mouth every 8 to 12 hours."

| Donating YT 7000 Club Member  | I think you've gotten your answers up there^, but as far as getting her to eat it, whenever the pooches needed to take pills, we'd wrap it in a small piece of bread or cheese and give it to them that way. Good luck! I hope she feels better soon. Poor girl.

As for the dose it depends on the mL of the dose you are trying to administer. Call you vet, tell them what dose you purchase and they will be able to tell you the proper dose to give. If they are closed the emergency vet can give you this information as well.

| Rocco stepped on a bee about an hour ago.. the Evet would not tell me an amount to give over the phone, so I gave roccco a tiny chip, maybe the size of a pin head, just in case... he is 2 1/2 lbs.. He doesnt seem to be having a reaction to the bee sting (if it stung him, I could never find the stinger) and only now seems totally tired.. I am freakin out here! Any advice would be great Thanks
