UPDATE:
Hey, guys! So BIG's bumps were going and coming for the past 4 weeks. He was not itching, that's why I found it difficult to be oak poison.
Few days ago, he started licking and biting his front paw. It was red.
So we took him to the vet this morning and it's simply hives... this is...
Exactly! That's why I'm thinking it's not poison oak because Big is not itching, not scratching...if it was poison ivy/oak, he should be itching... he's fine overall, only for the bumps under the skin.
I will keep you posted! Thanks again.
Hello 2BullyMama and Manydogs
Big's hives are getting a bit smaller - I noticed first thing in the morning.
I'm also not sure if it's poison oak because he's NOT scratching himself at all... I bet it's not itchy... he complains if I touch them, but overall he acts as if there's nothing there...
He woke up well! Took Benadryl before went to bed.
This morning, I noticed that the bumps did not spread (hope it's a good sign), but it didn't go away either.
He is not scratching himself, but doesn't like when I touch the bumps. They are hard, but I don't see any redness.
His face is fine...
Hi guys! 2BullyMama Manydogs Thanks A LOT. Never heard of ivy/oak poison, so great to learn about it.
I noticed yesterday at the park the dry oaks fruits in the grass, so now it makes total sense! He didn't eat it, so probably he got if from rubbing his body on the grass, right?
Just gave him...
Hi, guys!
Just came back from work and notice this "bumps" all over BIG, specially on his left side and back leg. Picture attached.
He gets very irritated when I touch the bumps. They are probably itchy.
Some info: we use Frontline once a month ever since he was 9 weeks old (he's now 8 months)...
Thank you guys, sharing is caring! @calibaker @texascarol 2BullyMama
Big is super well and we finished the antibiotics this weekend! He's back to business (zoomies involved and all lol)!
Hey,guys!
I just want to share our recently experience with Big so other users can see this post for future references.
A week ago, Big had nose discharge for the first time.
Next day, he was supposed to be neutered.
I trust his vet a lot and during the appointment, she said it was OK to neuter...
