Kipawa has big hives :(

  • @DebraDownSouth:

    How are the rash areas today Fran?

    Debra, thanks so much for asking. Kipawa is a bit more tired over the last two days, but he's back to 100% regarding the hives and welts. Of course something could still be going on inside his body, so I am updating our vet daily. We had sunny but cold weather today here. I contemplated taking him for a walk along the dike, without him wearing his coat, but I think his skin/immune system needs a good week or so of a break. Instead, we had a super long 2 hour leashed walk tonight - just got back in at 8:30 p.m. No contact with any bushes that could bring up those irritations again. We'll both sleep very well tonight.

  • I am so glad!

  • My Arnie is taking Freeze Dried Stinging Nettles in a pill form for his allergies/coughing.

  • Does anyone have pictures of hives on their B's??
    Zumi and i go running daily but we moved to a new area. there were lots of new plants along the side of the trail where we run, and today i noticed a small bump on his side.. it doesn't seem to bother him at all, and it's pretty small. i was wondering it if was a hive?
    if it is hives, wouldn't there be more than just one bump? it's on his rib/belly area. i would like to rule out something small before i take him to a vet and do a biopsy if it becomes necessary.

  • possibly a mosquito bite? or some type of bug bite?

  • In my experience, Hives are BIG. Hard to miss!

    Had you opened a new bag around the time this started? Sometimes they change ingredients or suppliers of ingredients, which is the way an allergen can sneak in....

    @tanza: Interesting that the Vet said check up by only the regular Vet? While I don't cerf every year as long as there are no problems, I do CERF every other year and then when about 10yrs, every year. Pat, yes, that's what he said, and I am sorry I didn't question him about his comment. As I'm very diligent with health care for my pets, and as I respect your knowledge, I think I'll take up your schedule. The cost is minimal for the prevention of any problems.

    The dogs in the picture look so much wilder to me. I liked the smaller ears. also they talk about the dogs had short muzzles. Very cool pictures, thanks for posting the link.
