[quote=Anonymous]Hello DCUM My 4 year old English bulldog has had hives 3-4 separate times in the last 9 months since we've moved to this area (from NYC). Each time we have ultimately taken him to the vet to get a Benadryl and then steroid injection. This last time, about 4 weeks ago, the doctor advised an at-home Benadryl regimen - 50mg 3x day for a few days, then twice daily for a few weeks. I stopped the twice daily last week. Now today he has hives again. I suspect either a seasonal allergy to something here but not in NY, or my mom suggested sarcoptic mange (from local foxes) as our family dog had it many years ago. We are in Arlington but they live out in Reston/Herndon near a wooded area. In fact he was just there this past weekend while we were way. Any experience with hives and/or sarcoptic mange? How was it diagnosed?[/quote]
