Hi there. Sorry this happened to Daisy. Yes, I would take her to a vet. It sounds like she is getting worse and not better. The vet will give her something stronger than Benadryl that will stop the reaction. You already gave her a pretty high dose of Benadryl for her size so if that isn't working it likely is not going to. It is better to be safe than sorry! I hope this helps. Best wishes!
