How much benedryl?

Marilyn · 07-01-2009, 03:59 AM

My Zoe is 3.6 lbs, and she gets 0.3 cc's (right at 1/3 of a cc) of the liquid children's benedryl twice a day for her allergies. Chase is 8 to 9 lbs, and he gets 1/2 of an adult tablet of benedryl. I have given Zoe a quarter of an adult pill when we didn't have the liquid available. I make sure it's actually just a little smaller than 1/4. Hope this helps.

To measure 0.3 cc's you need a very small syringe. The infant benedryl may have a dropper in it that will measure this small, I really don't know, but worth checking.

At Wal-mart you can but a spray to help them when they're itching. It's like a Benedryl spray and it doesn't cost much. I spray it on Rueger's underside when the chiggers are getting him. It helps for awhile. It's in the dog section.

Also, try an oatmeal bath. I don't really know if you can use real oatmeal

Aveeno is all I know about.

Thanks everybody! I did give her some benedryl, and I think I'll go get some oatmeal shampoo. She is doing quite a bit better

I'm glad to hear that she's better.
