Accepted Answer

Hi,
Sorry about that.
He should be fine. The dosage for Benadryl is 2-4mg/kg 2 to 3'times a day. That would be approximately 2.5 tabs at most.
He may get diarrhea or vomit but he should be fine.
However in case of adverse side effects such as rapid breathing or an increased heart rate please contact your vet.
