Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 10 lbs
What medicine do I use for my dog because he has hives and I think it's from a spider and my parents can't afford to go to a veterinarian so is there a medicine that will stop it.The swelling went down a bit so it's hard to see the hives. Thank you for your time and please help me asap. He is a Chihuahua.

If your dog is having an allergic reaction he needs to be seen by your vet. If you are unable to take him in you could try giving him some Benedryl. I would recommend calling your vet for the appropriate dose. If the hives worsen or Sebastian starts to have trouble breathing then you need to seek medical attention right away.
