Can Your Dog Get Hives?

Both types of hives will be the result, just as in humans, from allergic reactions to something, such as certain allergens, but it could be any number of things that can be very difficult to actually define it.

All dogs get a rash, although there are some breeds, simply because of their skin sensitivity, which are more prone to, such as golden retrievers, Labradors, Dalmatians and Lhasa Apsos.

from first-hand experience, I have now had three Dalmatians, all three have a rash, and my current one is 15 years old, and still occasionally gets a rash, and we still do not know what is actually causing it.

They will vary in size from a range of about the size of a penny, in severe cases where there may be as large as a small salad bowel. If you join, they are called plaques.

hives weight will depend on where you are. Normally it will not appear on the dog's weight, such as the back or abdomen, but can also develop on the face or lips. In the most severe hives, they will appear in languages​​, throat, or ears. A rash on the throat or tongue can pose more danger to your dog.

Most cases of hives are not serious, and will generally dissipate within a day or two. However, there are some exceptions.

angioedema, or swelling of the face, can be much more serious threat to your canine friend. With this condition, your pets, your face will swell, especially around the muzzle and eyes. If swelling is severe enough, your dog will not be able to see because they can not open his eyes.

In most cases of angioedema, the swelling will develop very quickly, which is good news and bad news. They are the good news is that it will give you some reference time frame in which your pet is and what it would be possible to set off the allergic reaction.

Anaphylaxis is a condition that develops rapidly and more serious set of reactions in the sense that it affects several different parts of the body at the same time, it is now life threatening. This condition can and is fatal to dogs, and if you think this condition affects your pet, you should immediately seek medical attention from your vet.

Both of these conditions are the result of reaction to your pet's body that is triggered by antibodies that their immune system has produced, and causes inflammatory cells to release substances that cause allergic reactions.

These reactions could be the result of recent vaccination your dog has received. Many types of vaccine will contain antibiotics as preservatives, which causes a reaction. Both types of hives are treated as a rule, antihistamines, quite successfully, but in severe cases they will be treated with steroids.

Some cases of hives can be very easy for owners to miss, or they may remain hidden under the coats, and can also be mistaken as a flea bites.

Symptoms to look out of the hive will be sudden and excessive scratching, patches of fur that seems to be lifted, and the sudden bald patches that are scaling or looks like a rash. In some cases, your pet May actually develop what looks like dandruff, but it is actually very dry skin.

If your pet develops a yellow coloring of the lips, abdomen, or rectal area, may develop a severe form.

There have been several reported cases of chronic or severe rash, which is vitamin B12 supplements or injections, and has reduced the severity and frequency of these attacks.
