My dog has lumps. Is it an allergic reaction to beef dog food?

This is probably an allergic reaction due to an insect bite or a plant outside. those reactions tend to resolve within 48 hours without treatment. if the swelling becomes too large or if your dog is lethargic, take her to the vet in order to get an antihistamine injection.

Hello. This sounds like it might be an allergic reaction. This could result in swelling around the airways. If hives are present (raised, haired bumps about 1cm across), then I would suggest a visit to the vet for some medications. Good luck with your little one!

This is most likely a sudden allergic reaction to something and should resolve within 12-24hours. If he becomes distressed or uncomfortable, contact your vet for medications to help - they may also prescribe antihistamines to have at home should it happen again also!

It's probably allergies, but you need to find out to what, it could be something in her food or in the environment, start by changing her food to an hypoallergenic diet, don't give her any treats or any table scraps and see if the condition improves.

That appears to be an allergic reaction your dog was having! Many times you will never find out what caused it. Its a very good thing that it went down. Go ahead and give her an over the counter antihistamine for the next 24 hours. If the bumps come back, take her to the vet for a steroid injection. Thank you for using Pet Coach!

These do indeed look like part of an allergic reaction (wheals/hives) and generally settle down after 12-24hours. Monitor closely for any internal complications such as vomiting, diarhhea, panting or weakness from an increased heart rate which may require hospitalisation and intravenous fluid drip. It can be difficult to identify the original trigger allergy bloods and a hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin anallergenic should be considered if recurring often

Since the bumps aren't bothering Max, you can choose to monitor him. They may resolve on their own, but if not then he should be seen by your veterinarian. It could be an allergic reaction or localized infection. Monitor for rapid change or growth, redness, pain, discharge or itching. If necessary, use an e-collar (cone) to prevent licking or chewing until he sees the vet.
