Is it okay to give generic adult benydryl? Or do I have to get the children's dosage.:confused:

Adult, 1 pill per 25 lbs. Vegas is 60 lbs. so he can have two. Makes them very tired and thirsty.

Do you use for itchey ears? Otis has been on ear infection medicane, didnt seem like it was clearing up so we asked for a different kind - he has been off of it for 2 days and now back to scratching behind his ear - it got so red last night at midnight that I have him a benedryl, put neosporin on the scratches and gave him another dose of his ear infection medicane. So, I guess my question is should I have given him the benedryl?

It can't hurt to give it a try.

Yes, I give her one when I see her start itching the ear. She has always had issues with the 'brown' ear so I keep a close watch on it.

Oh my...we have the "brown" ear, too, at times.


I should have been more clear... Banks has a white/freckled ear and a brindle ear.... for some reaason the brindle (brown) ear always has some redness or it just bothers her. sorry about that

You know - Punk's black ear is the one that usually has to be attended to.

Both Max's ears are brown brindle. His left is always worse than the right. My boyfriend has an American Bulldog that has a blue eye and white ear on one side and and brindle ear and brown eye on the other. The white ear always gives more problems than the brindle one. Interesting
