My dog has hives on his nose, no vet. What can I give him at home?

Question

My dog whimpered in the middle of the night, and then slept on my bed with me. He usually gets down because he gets hot. This morning I noticed he seems to have hives on his nose. I do not have any funds to take him to my local vet. I’m hoping you can give me some advice. Pet's info: Dog | Husky | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 60 lbs

The appearance of hives can indicate some type of allergic reaction. This is certainly enough to make your dog uncomfortable and want your comfort. I would recommend checking out this article “can I give my dog...” on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach’s main website so you can safely give your dog some benedryl and see if that helps. Depending on the severity of the reaction he may need to be on benedryl for 3-5 days. If there is no response to the benedryl after this time, then you will need to take him in to the vet to be examined. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
