Benadryl helps with the swelling and itching. Steriods work in the short term, but they are not a cure. There is no cure for hives. |
Okay so this can still be the initial reaction just coming back or more present? Thats what i worried about, if she is being re-exposed to the unknown allergen and its right before my face but cannot see it! See i have a lil boy yorkie too who reacted almost 12 hours before her same size and look of hives same day thats why i figured it was something they BOTH came in contact with for them both to react in the same day hours apart. Does this make sense? They gave her a shot of steroids on Monday at 2:30 hives went away and stayed gone til last night. They never completely went away in her ears they didnt bother her until last night. they were not as red the last 2 days you could kinda see where there were is all. So you think she may be just reacting harder than my other dog. his shot seemed to have done the trick. Or do you think she is being re-exposed?
