Question

My dog has a rash with bleeding over his abdomen and thorax with redness on his paws, what can this be? He has allergies and take benadryl. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered

This is probably caused by an allergic reaction. first of all make sure you de-flea Hercules regularly every month with a high quality spot on (ex. Advantage) as fleas are by far the most common reason for these reactions. If the fleas are not the problem, it could be an allergic reaction to food or an environmental factor. this is more complicated to treat and will sometimes require medications such as Steroids, anti histamines or Apoquel in order to stop the allergy (benadryl is rarely effective enough for this types of allergies in dogs).
