Need Help....Allergic Reaction?...Marley is sick
Submitted by Anonymous on April 21, 2010 - 12:34amCam home and my Marley was just laying in his crate, very unlike him. He is usually up and excited to be let out and runs out of his crate. He finally came out of his crate a bit later, ate dinner and just kinda laid low. I didn't think too much about it until after I made dinner I notice he wasn't around. I found him just laying down in his crate and again wouldn't come out. When my husband came home he never came out, usually Marley is the first one waiting for him at the door. When we went to check on him we noticed his eyes looked a bit swollen and his white spots on his face looked pink. After looking him over a bit I noticed what look like hives?(small bumps) all down his legs. I know he didn't eat anything out of the norm but I don't know if something bit him. My husband just ran out to get some benadryl for him. I'm just wondering if there is anything else I should do? 
Hope Marley is feeling better...
Maybe just an off day for him. I hope he's his usual self today.

Poor Marley! How is he doing this morning?!!
Always in my heart...
It could be most anything
in his surroundings...is there a new type of laundry detergent on his bedding, fabric softener? If you really think about it, you may realize something new has been around. I had to throw a comforter out as it was making Ruby do the same thing! It was a comforter that I had stored away and put out at the new place. It was looked like new but...out to the front for 'free' it went. I sometimes wonder what type of 'fibers' are in the stuff we buy.

I am way more cautious about looking now.
I am sure he will be fine after a dose of Benadryl...he can have 50 Milligrams, I am sure you know that. You can Google it to check the dosing.
good luck and hugs to the dear fellow.

Does he seem itchy? When our first bullie got hives, he was a bit spazzy from the itching. Maybe Marley is experiencing something different than hives?
Hope he feels better soon!
My bullies do not usually act lethargic from hives..
not to say it doesn't happen. I would suggest taking his temp. How are his poo poos? How is his tongue and gum color, pull down his lower eyelid and make sure that is pretty pink also.
