Jack Dog

Jack got his hair cut a couple of weeks ago. When she washed him, she said "no fleas", but he keeps scratching. Today Sherrill called the vet and they said it was probably allergies. So, now Jack has to start taking Benadryl. This is going to be fun! I think we will try the liquid instead of the pills. He HATES pills.
"Nighty Night Jack!"

Update

The vet said to give Jack 1 mg of Benadryl per pound, so that would be about 8 mg. Sherrill brings home a bottle of liquid Benadryl that says 5ml per teaspoon. So, in our little brains we think that perhaps one and a half syringes would be enough. So, we give him the one syringe, and with all the fighting we decide to hold off on the rest. As I am sitting in my chair reading the dosage for children, one teaspoon is recommended for children ages 6 to 11. Jack is no way that size. Then it dawned on me, ml is the liquid measurement, not mg (milligrams) that the Dr had prescribed. We have OVERDOSED Jack Dog. I immediately called Kat to see what the dosage should be. Talking through it, I was able to figure it out. In the meantime Sherrill is sitting in the chair with Jack repeating over and over "He's not moving, He's not moving, You killed him". All of this for a dumb dog!
