My dog is scratching, licking, and has bumps. Is it serious?

Question

Hi! My dog keeps scratching, licking and rubbing her. I see many bumps on her body and face. She has been outside 5 hours when I was at work. We live in a farm. I give her flea and ticks and heart worm bills every month. Would you please tell me if something is wrong. I just figured out tonight when I got home. And Im so worried thats why I wanted to make sure. All the vets are closed now. I am going to take her to the vet tomorrow. Will she be ok till tomorrow? Is anything dangerous? Thank you!

This is probably an allergic reaction due to an insect bite or a plant outside. those reactions tend to resolve within 48 hours without treatment. if the swelling becomes too large or if your dog is lethargic, take her to the vet in order to get an antihistamine injection.
