My puppy's eyes are still pink. How often can I give Benadryl?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | 3 months and 29 days old | 2 lbs

My puppy had an allergiec reaction and was told By the Clinic I could give 1 ml of Benadryl to help with her red swollen eyes. She is better but still has a bit of pink around her eyes. The dose was given at 6pm. How often may I give her a dose of she's not 100% better?

Typically Benadryl can be given two to three times in a 24 hour period (either 12 or 8 hours between doses), but because I can't see Daisy in person, I can't say it's safe to give it to her that often. I'd give the clinic a call to see if it's ok to give her Benadryl in that frequency.
