Help.... hives!

Hi I'm new to the forum I've got a beautiful blue staffy called Bruno he's 7 months. Our 1st puppy after having rescues in the past.
On Sunday he came up in hives after no change to his routine at all. We gave him Piriton & on Monday the vet gave him a steroid injection continued with the Piriton but today his skin was pink & his head was covered in lumps.
He seems ok in himself but we are obviously concerned has anyone else experienced this?

Many thanks
Ella

Sounds like allergies or reaction to something fingers crossed the meds work but if your not happy back to the vet welcome from us

Hi and welcome from me and daisy   

Ohhh, my old girl used to come up with this regularly, never could pinpoint exactly what caused it, she developed loads of allergies over the years, ended up on piriton daily, she was allergic to garlic, any spices herbs, pollen, grass, her feet used to swell as well! I hope your wee one isn't gonna have the same trouble. Maybe worth a try of a short course of anti histamine meds though.

Sounds alot like allergies to me as well.

hia from me and sasha   i hope he gets better soon

Definitely sounds like an allergic reaction to something, are you using anything different around the home detergents etc or perfume, body spray ?
