Poor guy. Benadryl is normally safe in pets that don’t have underlying conditions that would contraindicate it’s use. Please follow this link to go over those few conditions, which mainly is underlying heart conditions. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ Best of luck with your pet Spike. I hope he gets well soon.
