Benadryl - How Much To Give

[doggywoof]

hi, im fairly sure my chloe has KC, she is booked into the vet tomorrow but im hesitant in taking her as im pretty sure its where she got it. Anywho, just wondering how much benadryl should i give her. She is 8 years old and is 33 kg's. She has never had it before. I will also try to get some manuka honey tomorrow too. Thanks in advance.

We used to give 3mls twice a day when I worked at the kennels :D

Hope she gets rid of her nasty cough soon :D

Kennel cough must be going around!!! My girl is recovering from it, and so are Bindii's 2 doggies who Shyla spread it to (without us knowing she had it at the time, before the congestion and hacking set in). Also when I took her to the vets, they had seen 3 other KC cases that same morning!

Benadryl for kennel cough, will only ease cough not cure it, but dose rates are as follows 3x daily:

<5kg = 1ml

6-10kg = 2ml

11-15kg = 3ml

16 -20kg = 4ml

21 -30kg = 5ml

31 - 40kg = 6ml

went to the vet this morning. It is definately KC. I got the anti biotics just in case. And got the manuka honey and benadryl. She doesnt like the benadryl much, poor thing! Anyway, thanks everyone for your help
