My Pitbull has a worsening itchy rash after tumor surgery. What to do?

Question

Hello, my female Pitbull has A terrible rash on her stomach and inner legs shortly after having her 4th Mast Cell Tumor removal. Her entire stomach and inner legs are covered in this rash, which long seems to be getting worse. She is currently on Benadyl and Pepsid. I tried taking her off the Pepsid for a week to see if it was an allergic reaction, with no luck. She is very itchy. Is there anything I can do to treat the rash, at home remedies as well as meds? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 7 years and 8 months old

If you have tried to benadryl with no success, then Mabel will need a stronger medication to help with the rash, such as a steroid. Those can only be gotten from a vet. Since you have tried home remedies without success and she is getting worse, she does need to see a vet. I would take her into a vet today, as being very itchy will be quite uncomfortable for her.
