My dog is breaking out in hives! Pictures included! HELP!!!!!?

As others have said take your dog to a vet asap. No time to delay. If the vet say they can't see you tell them it's an emergency, scream down the phone if you have to. If that fails take your dog to another vet. It looks serious but then I'm not a vet - looks like a serious allergic reaction but it may be something else. Simple fact is you have to get your dog to a vet.

Yikes! That is weird. You need to take the dog, with the pictures to the vet tomorrow as soon as you can get her in. That is NOT normal. It sounds like you are really trying to figure out what it is. Anything outside different? Maybe even a new plant blooming? I wonder why it goes away and comes back every night. That is the weirdest part for me.

Good luck. I really hope that the source of the problem becomes apparent soon.

**Saw your add...If he can't get in until Friday, call in the morning, let them know it happened again. If they STILL can't get you in ask what you can give her in the meantime. Benadryl is safe...but double check the dosage. Tomorrow watch him very closely. Note down anything he does. If the hives break are breaking out at the same time. Keep an extra close watch during that time. There has to be SOMETHING he is getting into or doing. Poor pup!

Pictures Of Hives

Oh my gosh..poor thing

It does look like she is having a major allergic reaction to something.

She should see a vet as soon as you can get her in.

What kind of food does she eat?

Has she maybe gotten into anything?

Does she eat anything else besides her dog food?

It could be anything. You don't normally have to change anything. Her immune system can form an allergic reaction on its own.

What is she doing normally before these hives break out suddenly?

You CAN try giving her Childrens Benedryl to help. But yes..you should definitely get her into a vet asap.

This is a severe reaction to something. If you can't get your dog to a vet tonight, do you have benedryl in the house? If you don't, you need to get your hands on some right now. 1 mg per 1 pound of dog so our 65 pound dog gets two 25 mg tablets for a total of 50 mgs.

If you have oatmeal in the house, google a recipe for making your own homemade oatmeal shampoo to soothe the skin. Place a call to your vet in the morning. This year is one of the worst pollen years. We're in California so we don't have seasons. Our pits get year round allergy. It stinks. For an outbreak this severe, I would treat with benedryl tonight and get a prescription for steroids in the morning. Steriods for 7 days straight in addition to the benedryl is usually what it takes when one of our dogs is THIS severe. Since this is a second outbreak, it will likely be the same for you. Your vet will be able to advise you without even testing her. It shouldn't be an expensive vet visit.

ETA: What is she doing before you notice these? Is she outside for a bit and then breaks out a short time later when she comes in?

Hi there,

The most common signs of Alzheimers / dementia are:

- Poor judgment and decision making

- Inability to manage a budget

- Missing a monthly payment

- Losing track of the date or the season

- Forgetting which day it is and remembering later

- Difficulty having a conversation

- Sometimes forgetting which word to use

- Misplacing things and being unable to retrace steps to find them

If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, don't ignore them. Schedule an appointment with your doctor, with early detection, you can get the maximum benefit from available treatments.Also visit this site I found about memory loss problems. It's eye opening: http://memoryloss.toptips.org/

Hope it helps.

Those are very very bad hives. I agree with the top poster, she needs to see a vet ASAP! You might give her some benadryl on the way over to help reduce the allergic reaction, but it looks like a really bad allergic reaction and it could easily close her airways. Get going!

Wow! same happened to my Rat Terrier last night. She just all the sudden had huge bumps all over her head. Iooked everywhere even outside where she had been. Found nothing that could cause this. About an hour later they went away. I believe it is due to Environmental Stress. Those pictures look just like my little girl, shook me up a bit to see them.
