after surgery advice

Hello! I am a new doberman owner and my pup is 11 weeks old. He just got his ears cropped yesterday and they sent him home with a piece of cloth under a sock-like cloth on his head. They also gave me an e-collar and some pain medicine. When I picked him up, they told me to leave the bandage on...

I just brought Max home from his ear crop surgery. I have meds to start tomorrow because he still has meds in him from his stay at the vet. It obviously is new to him and itchy. He doesn't seem to be in pain, only itchy. Can he have a benedryl? I know the rule of benedryl with the 1mg per pound...
