My dog has bumps on her face. Is it an allergy or insect bite?

Question

My dog had been vomiting this morning, she ate some of her blanket, but she started getting bumps on her face as well. The vomiting has ended and she is eating like normal, and has been drinking plenty of water. The bums on her face do not seem to be going away, I am wondering what they are? There are a lot of dogs that live in my complex and wasn’t sure if this was something that could have been in the grass outside. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 69 lbs

Hi, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. From your pictures it appears that Kona may have hives. Monitor her closely for any other signs of illness. If she vomits any more, the bumps spread or get bigger, or she has any other itching she should go to an emergency clinic. Any coughing or swelling of her face and she needs to be treated immediately. She may have gotten stung or bitten by an insect or having a reaction to a plant in the grass. In some cases, giving a dose benedryl can help. I hope Kona is feeling better soon.
