Can dogs take Benadryl?

Can I give my dog Benadryl? He's about 6 pounds and is in a lot of pain. We don't see any obvious injuries or any significant trauma to his lower mandible.Please refer to my previous question.<3stranger.

yes, i give my dogs benadrly for their allergies

sorry about your dog. he might like somebody and feel depresed, or yes

No, dogs cannot take people medicine. Benadryl isn't for pain anyways.

Yes but your dog needs a vet. Benadryl will not cure an abscess or an infection which seems to be the case with your dog.

Yes, 1 childrens benedryl. That's what my vet had me give my puppy that I used to have.

I would get vet checked .However to answer the question.Yes they can.I gave mine 1/2 of the childrens.You might call the vet and ask him first.Good luck

Benadryl...isnt for pain sweetie... its for allergies....

Don't give him anything until he's seen a vet. See my post under your post. Benadryl won't help with pain anyway.

Yes, my beagle takes Benadryl for her allergies, but I suggest asking the vet first =) In the mean time,I'd give him half pill perhaps. =)Best of luck, hope he's better soon!

>>Yes, I give my dog benadryl...25mcg.

yes, as long as he is over 12 weeks..but for him i would get childrens benadryl which is half the dosage of adult. since he is so small and big amount probably isn't good..try a half of the childrens and then if he does ok with that then try the full caplet..good luck

Yes, I give my dogs Benadryl, just call your vet to see how much to give him. At that weight I would think children's Benadryl would be best. Good luck, take care;^)

Yes, dogs can take Benadryll. This and Imodium AD are the only human medications recommended by vets for canine consumption. Only give one capsul every 24 hours.

Well you shouldn't give your dog and medication without knowing what is wrong with it. Benadryl included. Take your dog to the Vet. Plus your dogs weight is only 6 pounds. If you give him the 25mg tabs it could really knock him out. Benadryl isn't a pain medication either. It's an antihistamine.

You shouldn't give meds if there could be internal injuries until you know what is wrong with the dog. yes, they can take benydryl in low doses, but it may not be appropriate here - the dogs needs a vet if it is obviously in pain. Benadry will make the dog sleep, but I don't know that it will relieve pain. GET TO THE VET ASAP!

I dont think its a very good idea unless your dog has allergies. Then its fine to give him benadryl. But since he's in PAIn i'd suggest taking him to the vet. From there you can determine medicine. But as of now, benadryl wont help since its an antihistamine. Hope your dog feels better!

Benadryl is for allergies, not pain. I would check with your vet first, but when you give benadryl for allergies you must give the dog a considerably higher dose than a human, but that was just what I was told. Again... check with a vet first!!!

Benadryl won't help your dog out. It is only used for allergies. And your dog doesn't have allergies. This sounds more like an injury and i would take him to the emmergency vet if he's in pain. Whatever you do, don't give your dog aspirin. It is very dangerous for dogs.

Yes they can. Because he's 6 pounds he doesn't need a lot at all. Hardly any actually. Children's liquid is best. Benadryl isn't for pain though. & it will make it sleepy. We give it to our dogs that have asthma. It helps them alot. If you give s/he less than a half of an asprin it'll help some of the pain. But it needs a vet if it continues.
