I'd had my dog on Benadryl (generic stuff) for a few years prior to that.
The vet said it was a good thing, probably helped. She'll be on that stuff for the rest of her life,

I found the easiest way was to grind up the whole bottle of pills in a
blender and use a measuring spoon to put it in food. A quarter tsp =
~100 mg of Costco benadryl. (based on weighing 4 pills and then
weighing the powder on my reloading powder scale)

I have to give mine 1/8 tsp tylan powder along with the diphenhydramine. I make capsules with the
tylan powder and give her that and the pill with peanut butter down her throat. Rubbing her nose
right after pulling my finger out of her mouth causes her to lick her nose and therefore swallow the
pills. Works every time.

Ed was never good with pills. If you put them in peanut butter or just
about anything else, he would spit out the pill. I was not ready to
wrestle with a 110 pound dog trying to force it down. Mixing the
powder with the food was a whole lot easier. I always gave him a golf
ball sized teaser of some kind of chopped up meat in his dry food and
I mixed the benadryl in that.
