    this morning we woke up and ramses my 3 year old tri color has allergy bumps all over his body!! we have not fed him any chicken (which he is allergic to) or anything strange lately so we do not know why this is happening? could it be from the thanksgiving turkey 3 nights ago? i dont think so.. we recently bought him a wool sweater are are placing the sweater as suspect #1, then we recently switched to a different laundry detergent… suspect #2. other than that i cant figure out what it could be. tommorrow we will go to the vet to get some steroids to help. i gave him some benadryl but looks like the allergies are winning. please help!

    can you wash him with just water to get rid of possible irritating things on this body? And of course go and join the vet asap

    @RamsesOchoa:

    He just threw up and it was just a few minutes after giving the benedryl..it was the yellow bile..

    Yellow bile usually indicates "empty tummy"… and your note is a bit confusing as you say that he was doing better with the benedryl, but now you are saying that he vomited just after giving it? Takes at least 30 to 45 minutes to get into the system?

    I think I would opt for the Vet

    wow, this gave me flashbacks to Gizmos reaction.

    Is he itching? If so I highly suggest Epi-soothe Medicated Shampoo. Really helped Gizmo.

    I would go and see the vet asap. And if you wash him I would first try pure water, no shampoo. If he has a contact allergic reaction, you need to get off whatever it is off his body. This would be done by clear water…..

    Vomit yellow liquid with little foam seems to be "empty stomach" to me. Sh*** like this always happens on a weekend!

    Fingers are crossed!

    @ELERICKSON40: Yes I agree. She is quite the mighty hunter and her nose is to the ground always!! Alot of times when she is digging in the couches and chairs she is trying to bury a bone. She will stuff a bone into the corner and actually take her nose and push imaginary dirt?? over the bone. It makes us laugh!! Yea, my B does the same, the first time I saw this I was so intriged, they are so smart. It is a funny thing to watch, Sahara will take a bone around the house in her mouth for the perfect place to bury it. If she can't find a place she is happy with she will prance around whinning the sadest noise like she is so sad. I actually pitch in and help her find a place, and she will most of the time agree on the place, she checks it out and then walks off. These dogs spoil you for any other breed, they are the best.

    I do now seeing what you say I do agree with a more verbal and/or stand up and as you say "higher dog" split them up. And I have seen this many times, where my boxer would do that at a dog park, he's such a dork lol, some dogs would start arguing and he'd go shoulder his way inbetween them and just stand there. I can also understand your point that there are a high number of boxers that don't get the clue and subtle hints, and part of it JMO is back to training. And the whacking them in the face, yep thats a boxer, lol. And I can understand that Basenjis don't like that. When we frst met our neighbor that had a Basenji, Reggie tried his normal "boxer" techniques (but thankfully he's not a face wacker) to get the B to play, pawing at him, low woofs, etc, since that didn't work he took the B's toy and stood there squeaking it at him and then took off in a game of chase, they were friends until we moved away.
