Awww, poor Nala. Duke got like this one time years ago when he got a tick on him. We went for a walk in the park and the next morning I found a tiny tick on him. Not long after I removed it his entire body got hives all over just like that. His third eyelids even swelled and were protruding out. He had not been neutered yet at the time and lets just say that his manly parts were probably at least 3 times their normal size and strawberry red!!! He ended up with a cortisone shot and taking benedryl for a day or two. But he did not get all itchy (if he was he did not show it).
I will be thinking of her. Please give her some kisses from me.

. Tasha developed a really bad reaction last fall to something. It seemed to start out minor and I thought she was just a bit itchier than usual. Then one day it suddenly seemed to escalate badly and she was shivering and had hives all over. I had recently had her on a different food and took her off that. She went to the vet and got a shot and also a little course of prednisone, Benadryl didn't help her. The hives healed up and went down and never came back. My highest suspicion is the food. It had salmon in it which she had never had before. The vet said it could have started out a minor allergy but kept building up in her system to become worse and worse, similar to someone who is allergic to bee stings having a worse reaction every time they are stung.
