Giving Benedryl to a Jack Russel Terrier?

Benadryl is fine, but you need to talk to a vet and get the proper dosage.

Don't give him Benedryl! It is a human medication and can kill a dog if it takes to much but even one dose can be severe. I would say that you are going to have to wait until you can get to the vet or keep on trying to contact them.

In the mean time, try as best as possible to keep him away from what gives him allergies even if it is really hard. Also, make sure he drinks a lot of water because that sometimes helps bring down allergies.

Hope this helps!

for my dog the vet put him on children liquid benedryl for his allergy but u really need to get the dosage from your vet. Every dog is different just like us humans, u might need to find a new vet if u can't get in touch with him, what would u do if u had a real emergency, good luck.

I"ve given Benedryl to my Jack Russell as well. It's fine as long as it's ONE pill and not as often as we would take it. Those lil pink Benedryl's are what I give Jackie.

I lift and breed and instruct and exhibit Shetland sheepdogs. One 12 months we had a massive rat infestation precipitated by means of agriculture and a drought. They all migrated to my strip of land as a result of water and feed. Instead of poison I purchased a Jack Russel Terrier. After a couple of weeks of placing her within the grain barrel with mice she went to paintings at the rats. By the time she used to be a 12 months historic she had killed over one hundred rats and proudly stacked them neetly within the orchard. She used to be bred for this challenge durring the darkish a long time whilst rats carried disorder that killed a few one million/three of the human populace! So she certain did the process she used to be bred for! We name her "Jacky Rat". One of my altime favourite puppies! For a feminine puppy take a look at Jacky O or for a male puppy take a look at Jack

You should always speak with a vet first before giving any human medication. Just keep calling, or try another vet.
