My dog has hives but no breathing issues. Is an ER visit needed?

Question

Our dog started showing signs of hives tonight on her nose and snout. She had been acting itchy all night but all of a sudden the hives showed up. She isn’t having trouble breathing in any way that we have noticed. Is it an ER visit tonight was r a vet visit in the morning?

Poor girl. As long as her airway is clear and she doesn't seem to be in distress. It is likely ok to wait until morning ot get Rosie seen. She is having an acute allergic reaction, but the hives seem to be the extent of it, which means she is stable enough for now. I hope that Rosie's hives resolve soon and best of luck finding out what triggered this reaction so that it can be best avoided in the future.
