Boxers/bumps on skin

Expert: - 10/3/2011


Question
My three year old boxer has started getting small bumps all over her torso occasionally.  They don't seem to bother her, no scratching, but I am worried about her.  No change in food or care products.  Do you think she needs to see our Vet?  Is there something I can try at home first.

Answer
It is probably seasonal allergies from the change in weather.

A lot of Boxers are prone to some kind of allergies; either foods or environment; or both.

Talk to your vet (a phone call is all that might be necessary) and ask about Benadryl-- and dosage amount.

This will help clear it and get her through the season.
