My dog had what appears to be hive like bumps yesterday morning and even after Benadryl yesterday they are still apparent today and they are itchy for him. I attached a photo of the most prominent ones but he has them all over his back

Chewy may be having an allergic reaction. If it hasn't improved with Benadryl, he may need some injectable medications from the vet to get his symptoms under control. I recommend bringing him in right away.
