Why does my dog have red bumps after her heartworm shot?

Question

My dog had red bumps all over her body and she just had the heartworm shot, what can I give or put on her for the bumps to go away ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 3 months old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

If Bella has had the red bumps appear all over her body after having this shot, I would be concerned that she is having an allergic reaction to the shot. Allergic reactions can progress to respiratory difficulties, so I would take Bella into a vet now for treatment. She may need steroids to control the reaction.
