In general, it would be a good idea to start some oral Benadryl and see your DVM. The Benadryl cannot treat hives that are already there, but will help to prevent further hives from forming. From a medical standpoint, there is no way of telling if an allergic reaction will lead to a swelling of the airway. While very rare, this throat swelling is very dangerous and must be addressed at once. See similar questions...

Frequently, hives are caused by immune reactions. There are 4 types of immune related reactions and two of them can manifest with hives as part of the clinical picture. The most common allergic reaction is caused by the interaction of histamine from mast cells and a class of immune globulins called IgE. See similar questions...

The treatment for hives is generally symptomatic. Benadryl is not useful for hives that are already present, but is effective in preventing further reactions. Some of the side effects of Benadryl include drowsiness and lethargy. Frequently, steroids or epinephrine are also needed to combat allergic reactions that are already happening.

This is dependent on the cause. Anything from food allergies, contact allergies, insect stings, heat, cold, drugs, and vaccinations can cause hives. It is really difficult to determine the cause of the hives. If you see an occasional case of the hives, this is not a matter for concern. If you see frequent recurrences of hives, then allergy testing and possibly biopsy should be considered to try to find the cause of the hives. See similar questions...

Mast cell degranulation is the mechanism behind hives. In simple terms, certain little white blood cells are going bonkers and firing histamine. Mast cells fire in response to antigens (invaders, real or perceived) that come into your body either by contact (skin), inhalation or digestion. Antigens are also produced within the body by other factors, such as inflammation or systemic illnesses such as cancer, thyroid disease or lupus. See similar questions...
