They may resolve on their own in a few hours. If Blue is itchy, contact your veterinarian and discuss antihistamine use. If they worsen or spread or if he develops difficulty breathing, take him to the nearest veterinary ER. Legally, we are prohibited from recommending doses for medications, even OTC medications, in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR ( veterinarian-patient-client relationship).
