No, you shouldn't mix Benadryl (diphenhydramine) with Neurontin (gabapentin) unless your vet has said it's okay, and has told you the correct dose of medications.
Taken together, they can effect the central nervous system of your dog and possibly also depress the respiratory system.

Is it dangerous for a 3 year old dog to swallow 25mg of diphenhydramine?
The dose of diphenhydramine goes by the dog's weight, not it's age. The standard dose is 1 mg per pound of weight, every 8 hours. For a 20 lb. dog, the doese is 20 mg of diphenhydramine. If you think your dog is having an emergency, call your vet's office. Don't wait for help from any Internet helpline.
Is Benadryl allergyok for dog?
MAKE SURE YOU CONSULT YOUR VETERINARIAN BEFORE YOU GIVE ANY MEDICATION TO YOUR ANIMALS, SOME BREEDS HAVE DIFFRENT REACTIONS TO CERTIN TYPES OF MEDICATIONS!Regular Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) is ok for dogs. The dosage for this would be 2.2mg/kg every 8-12 hours.Example: Your dogs weighs 15lbs1) First you will need to know what your dog weighs in kg. To convert lbs to kg1a) Dogs weight in lbs / 2.2 = Dogs weight in kg1b) 15 lbs / 2.2 = 6.8 kg2) So now that you know your dog weighs 6.8 kg you can figure out how much Diphenhydramine to give them2a) 2.2mg x 6.8 kg = 14.96 or 15mg3) Now you know you can safely give your dog 15mg of Diphenhydramine, but since most of these tabs only come in 25mg strenght you can cut it in half and give them 1/2 of a tab.

Is doxylamine safe for dogs?
I assume you want to administer over the counter sleeping pills to a dog. There is a lot of documenation available for giving dogs diphenhydramine which is the same ingrediant in Benydryl and in most over the counter sleeping pills. So I recommend sticking to Benydryl or an OTC sleeping pill with diphenhydramine and not expiramenting with doxylamanine. Benydryl dosage should be 1 mg for every 10lbs of dog. A 20lb dog should take 2mg of diphenhydramine.

Expired meds are no more safe for dogs than they are for humans. As you and I have no idea what the decomposition of diphenhydramine creates -- No -- don't do it.

How much benadryl can you give a 7 pound dog?
This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.
