woodys lumps

just thought i'd share some pics of Woodys lumps so that others may not panic if it happens to them, half a piriton tablet usually sorts him out. you can actually see them appearing in front of your eyes-very scary the first time it happened

Poor woody, that's what Billy had, he has still got one or two

woodys had gone by morning, think i caught it before they covered him head to paw like last time!!!

I'd be so worried if that happened to Moo so thank you ffor the insight, and fingers crossed it doesn't poor boys

Very famailiar looking with Suki's allergies. A bit offsetting to deal with.

Poor Woody! What causes these lumps and are they itchy?

weve not discovered what is it yet, only happened twice so far, he's obviously just delicate!!!! no dont seem to bother him at all just looks horrid!

I wonder what he's allergic to....? I googled Priton and it's obviously and antihistamine in the UK, but I didn't recognise the name.

yeh piriton is an antihistemine. my son take sit for hey fever but its used for all allergies just about. poor woody

yh advice on here that ok to give them the human version just lower the dosage so just give hm half a tablet and it works with no side effects

hi is it safe to give your dog the human version of piriton as my little staffy has just came out in all those lumps all over her this is first time this has happened to her and she is 6 years old

well thank god my 2 have no allergies this would scare me silly

Yes is it ok to give your dog piriton

We have seen these on Rocky when has had an allergic reaction to something, it is scary the first time you see it but once you know what it is the fear quickly goes.

Not sure it is ever safe to give our dogs a human medicine. Would always check with the vet as the dosage may be completely different. Hope it clars up soon.

the vet told me 4 different human tablets you can give your dogs

Steve, I know you are right here and the medications may be the same, but how do you know the dosage ?

the vet told me

here in Australia there are antihistamines called phernergan and also polaramine ..these are safe for dogs to take if needed for allergies ( my vet told me )

Blondy gets these their annoying things, but she doesn't itch or anything or seems to be bothered and they go down by the next day or within a couple of hours.

Steve, I wish I had your vet !
