Or to the initial cause itself. A bite, sting, etc, but I haven't ever heard of that response. I know others will have better thoughts for you, I wish I knew more about this stuff. I WILL be praying for him though. If at all possible, they need to try to get their regular vet to see him. ER vets just aren't really good at specialized medicine, and that is what he needs right now. They are good for breaks and hits, not things like this. I personally would wait if at all possible....maybe call their vet and just see if they can get in on an emergency basis tonight or first thing in the morning.

On yesterday.

Does he seem uncomfortable? Trying to scratch the spots?
Is his face swelling or has his breathing changed?

If there is no swelling and he doesn't seem bothered by these spots, I would give him 2-3 benadryl depending on his weight. Also, I would put some hydrocortisone cream on the sores.

If there is any swelling or his breathing changes, go straight to the Vet.

Can u post pics?

Hi all and thanks for the help

His breathing is good and in all this that has seemed to stay pretty good throughout this ordeal. I Got everywhere pretty well dried out just repeatedly dapping some Tp and then packed everywhere i could with Otomax. He's been about 45 minutes now and seems to be staying pretty dry and not lookin quite so bad ( not really great either though). He really doesn't seem to be fussing with it much now and is just laying down on his couch. His swelling was mostly down today and i though he was looking like he was getting back to normal. Then about an hour and a half ago he started fussing with it for just literally a minute then came up to me and was just soaked an oozing. Most of it really was colorless and not thick at all, but it was coming out like crazy, i would get him dry adn then just have to start over again cause he was soaked again. As of right now i'm going to try to hold out till morning and get him up to out bulldog specific vet in the morning as i don't really like a general emergency vet getting to much into him as a bulldog. If his condition deteriorates i will take hime in without question though as the emergency vet is 27 hour.

I'm going to try to attach a pic so let me know what you think.

we have them around here along with black widows.  How is he doing today?

Hi there this is Nick , Lonna's son and maverick's papa

He was doing okay this morning , still very red and damp. I got him up to the bully vet this morning and we've got him on quite a assortment of meds. He got very infected very quickly from where he was all swolen up so bad. But Dr Carpenter says he should be good as new here in a few weeks, and much better then now in a few days.

Again thanks for the help and concern
Nick and Maverick

It is so nice to have this wonderful community of bulldog lovers to turn to when we have concerns!

We are glad that Maverick could get in this morning to our regular vet whom is a fabulous vet that specializes in bulldogs.

I know that there are many like our family, that really appreciate all the info we gather from this forum.

 Because it may be helpful to someone else I wanted to add a bit to my son Nick's post.  Dr. Carpenter beleives that it is highly likely that the initial reaction and swelling was caused by a brief accidental encouter  that Maverick had earlier on Saturday on his way outside with a piece of old kitchen carpet that had been recently removed. He suspects the old padding had dust mites that had caused the allergic reaction.
