Hives in the dog and humans are common problem . It can be a huge burden on your pet and sometimes the problem is so complicated and unusual that the medication given by the vet does not immediately work. Nevertheless,

it is important to continue until the appropriate medication is found and the cause has been addressed. Your pet will thank you for it. And when the cause has been removed, there is less chance that the hives will return.

What exactly are hives?

Hives in the dog or Urticaria are caused by an allergic reaction. This can be from something your dog has eaten to an insect bite. The causes are often very diverse so it can take a while for the owner to find the cause of the hives.hives in the dog

Causes of an allergic reaction can include:

  • Certain medications can cause an allergic reaction in the dog. Keep a close eye on any medication your dog has recently received if he has persistent hives.
  • Vaccinations can also be a source of hives. Like certain medications, they can contain substances to which your dog is allergic. Check when your dog received its last vaccination and when the first hives symptoms appeared.
  • Food is probably one of the most common causes of hives. If you are not sure whether food is at the root of the problem, try to alternate with other food. You can often buy food specifically for animals with allergies from your vet or a group practice. If this reduces the problem, food is most likely the culprit.
  • Too much sun can also cause your pet to develop an allergic reaction that leads to hives. This has everything to do with the amount of UV radiation.
  • Insect bites can also lead to hives. This is probably one of the most difficult causes to tackle. Dogs like to run through bushes and frolic in the yard, which is teeming with vermin. Try to protect your pet from insect bites as best you can if you think this is the cause of the problem.hives in the dog

What are the symptoms of hives in the dogs?

  • Your dog is going to scratch a lot. The allergic reaction causes a terrible itching. This can get so bad that he even starts biting out strands of hair.
  • With some types of hives in the dog, the problem may disappear after 24 hours. In an acute case of hives, the cause should often be sought indoors.
  • Elevations on the skin are accompanied by redness.
  • In some cases, the dog may develop a thick paw or swollen head. This is because the allergic reaction has caused swelling of the skin, often on the underlying tissues.

Treatment for hives in the dog

In itself, the treatment for hives seems very easy. Nothing is less true. If the cause of the problem remains, the hives will return sooner or later. And the treatment is usually only temporary. Some medications also do not work immediately and often more than one visit to the vet is needed. Most cases are treated with various corticosteroids, which counteract hypersensitivity reactions.

Still, the most important thing is to find and eliminate the cause of the problem. If the hives constantly return, it is recommended to keep an eye on your dog for a day. What does your dog get to eat? What ingredients could he be allergic to?

Is there something in the garden that your dog cannot tolerate, such as a certain plant that he is devouring? Has your dog been flead? If your dog has a blanket in his basket, alternate it with another.

When you wash the blanket, use a specific detergent to which your dog can be sensitive. In short, there is a whole laundry list of causes that you have to take into account. But remember, once the cause is found, the hives will almost certainly not return.
