Dog has itchy bumps, hair loss, swollen eye. What to do if no vet?

Question

Hi! I have a dog named Parker. He’s a Blue Nose Pitbull. Recently for the past 2 weeks, he has been developing bumpy, itchy spots all over his back. Now, they’ve spread to his tail, back legs, front legs, neck, and chest. He’s losing hair more on his tail and back legs. Today, 1 eyelid is extremely swollen and the other has a bump. The corner of his lips have red bumps as well. What should I do if my parents are unable to take him to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 6 days old | 30 lbs

It is best to get him to a vet. This sounds like an allergic reaction that can progress to worse symptoms where he has trouble breathing which can be serious. In the meantime you can give him one Benadryl capsule or tablet (25mg) to see if that helps.
