Dog Hives Treatment

This site has really helped me understand whats going on with our boxer. A year ago on New Years day, he had hives and was lethargic. We rushed him to the "animal ER" in a nearby city. He had gotten in to who knows what that he was allergic to and was toxic to him. After 3 days he came home.

Yesterday he started with the hives, but seemed okay other than swollen ears. I was glad to read that the ears, not the throat, like humans, swell when having an allergic reaction.

I started him on benedryl and it's helping. Since reading this website, I gave him a bath to get rid of the allergen.

Now to find the culprit.

.....Thanks.
