    Benadryl is a brand name for an anti-histamine (diphenhydramine). Although it is considered fairly safe for use in dogs and cats, please be aware that it does have potential adverse side effects. It may interact with other meds that your pet is taking, so do not use it without first consulting your veterinarian. You should also use extreme caution using Benadryl in dogs that have glaucoma, prostatic disease, cardiovascular disease or hyperthyroidism.

    Benadryl is quite effective when used in proper dosages.
    Stops itching
    Controls vomiting
    Good for motion sickness
    Can be used as a mild tranquilizer
    Good for snake bites
    Useful for vaccination reactions
    Good for bee stings and insect bites

    Be sure to use only the plain Benadryl formula. Giving benadryl with other combination of meds could be fatal, so be sure to read the box.

    Liquid Benadryl is too high in alcohol content to be safely used for animals. Please use capsule or pill form.

    Dosage every 8 hours
    Dogs under 30 lbs and Cats : 10 mg
    Dogs 30-50 lbs: 25 mg
    Dogs over 50 lbs: 50 mg

    I found this at Dogs: dogs and benadryl, benadryl for dogs, mild tranquilizer
    If you have any more questions you should call your veterinarian.

    I would take your dog to the vet and see what he/she thinks. Or even call and ask
