I know others have mentioned shampoos, but wanted you to seriously think about ANYTHING you are using on her....even if you have used it in the past. We had a white german shepard for 11 years until she passed away last summer. Long story short I do have allergies, but usually not to dogs only cats. We took her to be groomed over Christmas week so she would be all pretty for Christmas company and when she came back, the next morning I started itching and by the end of the afternoon had hives all over my arms, it moved to my chest. Took benedryl, used creams but it just kept spreading. Called the groomer and she said it was the same whitening shampoo she has always used, by that night the hives were so bad my throat was getting tight and went to the ER where I got a shot.....my husband had already given her a bath the night before with our own shampoo in case it was something on her, but was still on my comforter (were she had slept on the bottom of the bed as usual) which just kept the hives coming back on.
Once I figured that out the next morning and washed the comforter they were finally gone......something in the formula of the shampoo had changed, and whatever they did or added to it caused the reaction.
Just wanted to suggest it could be a cologne you are using/have always used, or her shampoo. I had the same reaction one time to flowers that my husband had sent me.....it was some kind of spray the put on them and I touched them with my hand and touched my ear and face and both swelled up like a monster.
Might try bathing her in something non scented/non pretty and washing her bedding to see if just maybe that would do the trick. |
