Is your tide with that softener inside? If so I know I sure canā€™t use it as I itch like hell... I have fragrance free for my dogs n I. Partner wanted to be helpful once and used his tide pods with I think the put Downey or something like that inside the pods. Did the bedsheets. Omg I jumped out of the bed scratching in the middle of the night loll..

Guys usually mess up the laundry so they won't have to do it again LOL

I like to buy this' Nellie's laundry soap from Costco when it's on sale https://www.costco.com/nellie%e2%80%99s-400-load-laundry-soda.product.100477949.html

Nellie wonā€™t dissolve completely in my washer. Idk why as itā€™s one of them newer front loader which I neeeever use all them cycles either. Probably Alberta water lolll

I have noticed the rash is all over her body Including the ears, Monday canā€™t get here fast enough. The Benadryl isnā€™t taking the rash away at all.

Poor pup and poor you. Castor and I cannot offer any advice but we hope she will soon find some relief. Do you know anything about her history and whether she has a history of such allergic reactions or if this is something that appeared now for the first time? We hope your pup soon feels better!

Are these tide pods? From your 2 photos, I donā€™t see a thick rash or blisters. Why Iā€™m thinking the pods..

Updated pictures Iā€™m at a loss, I just want her to be better. I have purchased draft baby laundry detergent and I am going to be washing everything with it I also went and purchased a steam mop so I no longer use chemicals on my floor and I will be steam mopping everything I am going to be cleaning everything she uses with vinegar and water so therefore there is no chemicals Iā€™ve got rid of all my for breeze and air fresheners in my house I am going to be putting her on a homemade food diet to detox or system I just want to do anything I can to make her feel better because I havenā€™t had her for very long and I just want her transition into our home to be as smooth as possible and I feel like Iā€™m failing.

It does look like burns, but I know it is not. Definitely something her body doesnā€™t like.... what food are you feeding again?

Very good decisions! I only use diffusers around the house. Youā€™re definitely correct as ALL these febrezze, glade etc etc are all chemicals. Also vinegar is the best to wash any floors. Thatā€™s what I use on all my floors. I also use it in my rinse cycle in all my laundry n dogs blankets. This looks so an environmental allergy. And you said Benadryl doesnā€™t work?

I know that the Benadryl is not making the rash any better, it also doesnā€™t seem to be bothering her at all. So I am just unsure of what it is and what caused it.

We were using a grain free lamb food we switched her after we got her from her previous owner, the rash showed up 1 1/2 days later. So we switched her back to what they had her on which is pedigree but itā€™s such bad quality we donā€™t really like the idea of that. I am planning on doing a homemade diet with ground beef and rice to detox her system.

Usually food allergies wonā€™t kick in that fast and plus itā€™s not bothering her. Especially now sheā€™s back on what she was previously eating n flares are still not improving. Why I say definitely environmental. Aside from pedigree, the previous owner give you anything else to use or do? Was there a blanket in the vehicle that was washed with tide...etc etc...
