When your pet has eaten something that it is allergic to, hives would appear afterward. Hives, or urticaria, usually develop a few hours after your pet ate.
Hives are itchy and reddish bumps that appear on the skin. For dogs with short hair, the hives are visible. In some cases, the pet owner has to check the body to see if there are any bumps. For cats, the skin irritations are also not visible. Lumps filled with fluid usually take a few months to develop. But these lumps do not pop up immediately.
When pets have hives, the skin is itchy and irritated. The pet will attempt to scratch, bite, or lick the affected area. If this persists, the skin will break and create an opening for infection. The infected part will need treatment. Hair loss often occurs in affected areas.
If you notice any signs of infection, parasites, and other skin and hair coat problems, it is a good idea to make an appointment with your veterinary hospital Wake Forest, NC so your pet can undergo a thorough checkup.
