Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to recommend any drug, including OTC drugs, without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. I would take Harley into your vet. The vet can confirm that he is suffering an allergic reaction, and can give him an antihistamine or steroid to treat it.
