It is not recommended to give any animal any human medicine, or any medicine at all without a veteranarian's perscription.
Just watch the dog does not get sick from it, if the dog apears sick call a vet right away dont wait.
You can give a dog Buffered Aspirin 5-12.5 mg per pound, every 12 hours for pain, inflammation, and fever. Usually one regular strength tablet (325mg) for a 50-60 pound dog.
Don't guess at the dosage and call your vets (there is no charge.) Guessing by the size of the dog can cause risks.
Dogs can't take Motrin.
Dogs brains are approx. .5% of body weight. Half a pound give or take a neuron.
A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)
No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give your dog.

The standard benadryl (diphenhydramine) dose for a dog is 1 milligram (1mg) per pound every 8-12 hours. For example a 25 pound dog could get 25mg of benadryl two to three times per day. This can cause drowsiness. if your dog is too sleepy after dosing you can give 1/2 a dose. I am not a veterinarian and I recommend that you never give any medication (even over the counter medication like benadryl) without first consulting a veterinarian.
There is no set dose for an 8 pound dog; veterinarians typically prescribe within a certain range based upon the dog's symptoms and what the prednisone is being used to treat. Prednisone is a powerful drug with the potential for serious side effects, particularly in such a small dog. If you believe your dog needs treatment with prednisone, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination.
My dog has allergies and the vet told me to give her a childrens dose but I would imagine it would depend upon the weight of the dog.
That depends on how many milligrams of diphenhydramine are in each teaspoonful of the liquid, why you're giving the Benadryl, and whether or not your dog is receiving any other medications. Contact your Vet. He/she will know the correct dose for your pet.
I was given a 10mg dose for my dog who is 14 pounds. Hope this helps.
Consult your vet. It can be used for separation anxiety and such, but the wrong dose will harm your dog.
you shouldn't even give your dog steroids and you really really shouldn't give your small dog any
