It is possible that many long haired dogs are getting hives and we as owners and veterinarians never see them because they are covered. Even a small bump on a boxer body will show up easily because of the short and shiny coat.

The general health of the animal is not generally affected. However, certain side effects of the hives can cause secondary problems. If extremely itchy, the dog can traumatize itself by scratching and licking. See similar questions...

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...

If your dog or cat is marked © 1989 (looks like © 1983) Hasbro, and has long combable (silky or fluffy) hair, it is a Sweetie Pup or Sweetie Kitty. They came in a variety of breeds and colors (thanks to Tammy for the Sweetie Pups pictures and for the Sweetie Kitty pictures to Debra [original] and Chantel [pastel]). They are NOT related to My Little Pony. See similar questions...

You need to bath either coated dog about once a month. Depending on the thickness of the long coat, you will have to brush them too. I brush Sonja once a week for instance, and only brush T Kis about once every 4 months, and she hardly has any knots. They only need to be brushed, and do not need to have their hair trimed like other long coat breeds do. You can do it all at home in 5 minutes. See similar questions...

They do this by finding a hive location (look for a translucent hive hanging from the ceiling; hive locations are also visible on hive sight). Once a gorge finds an empty hive location, he can use his pop-up menu to create a hive (left->left->down) if he has at least 40 resources. It then takes 3 minutes to gestate. As the hive builds, a progress meter on the HUD of every alien shows its progress, until it finally swings down and activates. See similar questions...

When hives are seen as part of an anaphylactic allergic reaction, there is occasionally swelling of the throat area involving the laryngeal and pharyngeal area. If not treated immediately, this reaction can be fatal. See similar questions...

While no special considerations need to be taken in advance of the dog(s) swimming, you should be aware that hair from the dog(s) will plug things like the skimmer basket, the pump basket, and the filter. As a result, you will have to be emptying those baskets more frequently, monitoring the filter pressure more closely, and, most likely, cleaning the filter more often. ABSOLUTELY. A good pool cleaner will do much of the work for you. See similar questions...

My books are not specific to any single sport. The physical qualities developed through my programs will be useful in a multitude of sporting events. See similar questions...

The sled dog lifestyle is the perfect formula for longevity. Because the dogs get excellent exercise, care, and food, it is not uncommon for sled dogs to live up to 17 years. Another reason for the longevity is that most sled dogs are mixed-breed dogs, giving them added hybrid vigor and stamina over their pure-bred counterparts. See similar questions...
