This sounds like your dog has an allergic reaction to possibly an insect or spider bite or allergen. As long as your dog has no problems breathing or does not appear ill, you can wait it out. Should your dog have breathing problems or appear ill, vomits or the welts do not go away within 12 hours, you should take Romeo to your veterinarian or a petER for an exam, an antihistamine and/or a steroid injection.
