Why is my Pitbull's nose swollen with itchy bumps and abscesses?

The first picture looks like a large series of insect bites all in one location. If Jackson has been sticking his head in any weird areas where something like that could happen, that would be a reasonable guess as to the cause of the lesions. Determining with certainty the cause of the rash is not easy without significant diagnostic testing including skin scrapings and cytology at minimum. I think that the swelling and the affected area still look bad enough that Jackson could probably benefit from a systemic antibiotic to address the skin, as well as a topical ointment with both antimicrobial / anti-inflammatory properties to help with the swelling and redness. If the area has been itchy even a little bit, Jackson should be wearing an e-collar to prevent any further damage (and as a result delayed healing) to the area in question. As far as things she can do at home if the vet is not an option, use of betadine and a over the counter steroidal cream would both be beneficial. You can obtain an e-collar through your vet or a pet store, or you can even make a home made one ( there are lots of videos available on YouTube on how best to do this). Hope this helps!

You may be describing hives. They just look like small patches of fur that stick up a little more than other areas, and the length of pitbull fur makes them very prominent! If you haven't bathed her since rolling in the grass, I would recommend doing that to wash off any allergens that she may have come in contact with. If they don't get better in a few hours, or if she starts coughing, acting lethargic, or has facial swelling, then she should be seen by a vet for injections of antihistamines and steroids to help with the reaction. Also note that the wet or dry of a dog's nose just depends on their current environment and the time since the last licked it. Same thing for cold or warm! I have never included the nose temperature in my physical exam. ;)

It looks like Boo could be suffering from an allergic reaction causing hives. The problem with an allergic reaction is that it can quickly progress to swelling of the face and snout, leading to respiratory distress. I would take her into a vet immediately to get treatment for the hives. Best of luck.

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 Bo is lethargic, take him to the vet in order to get an antihistamine injection.

This could be a skin infection, but it can be a sign of an allergic reaction. I would have this checked out by a vet, but if these bumps get worse, Bean's muzzle starts swelling, and/or he has trouble breathing, take him into an ER vet immediately.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Poor Skye. My guess is this is a severe allergic reaction as well as secondary bacterial infection of the skin. If ointments and benadryl are not helping, she will require stronger, oral medications, to control the inflammation and treat the infection. This will require a visit to the veterinarian. I would recommend this visit within the next 12-24 hours, given how uncomfortable this looks for Skye. In the meantime, you could try giving Skye a bath with a gentle aloe and oatmeal type of shampoo, just to give her some temporary relief, and hope to wash off any surface allergens that may be irritating her skin. Rinse off the shampoo thoroughly with lukewarm water afterwards, and pat dry (don't rub). I hope this helps, and your little girl is feeling better soon.

It may be an [allergic reaction](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/hypersensitivity-reactions-in-cats-and/) from getting bitten or stung by something, or coming in contact with something he is sensitive to. Your vet can recommend a dose of Benadryl, which is an antihistamine. It's not legal for me to recommend specific doses since I haven't examined Boau. If the hives don't get better, then I would take him to a vet.
