Hi there. This is still within the published dosage range for Benadryl in a dog this size, so I would not expect it to cause any significant problems. She may be drowsy for the next few hours (or may be jittery and restless since some dogs have the opposite reaction to Benadryl, just like humans!), but otherwise I would expect her to be just fine. :)
