QuestionOur daughter give us 2 pit bulls (female) 3 months old and for two weeks they have red hives in the belly and legs. Every week is more. We change the shampoo 2 times and nothing help. We feed Beneful to the puppies. Most of the time they are in the garage, in the afternoon in the balcony and they take naps inside the house every time that is hot. they love air conditioner. they tell me that maybe it's the food. I don't know nothing about dogs. Some times they scracht their legs but in general their not itching(The hives). Please we nedd help.
Answer
Hi Lily - Let's get them to the vet for a check up. I don't think it is the food because of the TWO of them with the same symptoms. ( I bet it is Environmental)
Think about what they are in contact with??? ARE there any red ants, fleas, or other critters?
Also, is the bedding alway clean every day?
You can try some NuVET for pups - NuVET Plus is a skin and coat healer and ALLERGY blaster.
Each pup could have 1/2 of a NuVET wafer per day...
It should help with Environmental or Food allergies.
Call tomorrow M-F 8-4 California time zone - The manfuacturer sells it at 50% LESS than what the Vet may charge you.

Don't keep bathing them unless they are urine or poop on them..
It will just dry out the skin.
