Question

My kids let my pug puppy eat some corn and she is allergic what should I do will she be ok ?

Answer 1

You can give a dog Children's Benadryl. My dogs have "hay" fever and need Benadryl in the spring. Ask you vet for the proper dosage for your dog's weight. We have Chihuahua's and their weight averages 6 pounds so we give 3 quarters of an inch of a standard eye dropper.  

Answer 2

How allergic is she?

If she has a SERIOUS corn allergy then you would have noticed a reaction by now.  She'll probably be fine.

ADD:

If you give benadryl, make sure it's not the liquid form -- it contains alcohol.  Just plain old benadryl, not the kind that treats extra symptoms.  Dogs under 30 lbs can have 10 mg every 8 hours.

Answer 3

If it's a serious allergy, then you will notice a reaction, which could be any number of things, from itching to swelling etc. If it's a basic food allergy, it's probably going to just make her itchy and if you stop feeding the corn, she should be fine.
