Getting hives from a dog who’s just given birth…?

[heblessedinsideme]

Never had issues with this dog before. I usually only get itchy or hives from male dogs saliva which I already think is strange. But now since this dog has given birth to puppies I’ve now been having allergic reactions from simply petting her. Is this maybe from her hormonal change? She licked my arm and gave me hives and a few days prior I must of rubbed my eye after petting her and my whole side of my face and eye got extremely swollen. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before.

@heblessedinsideme The mama dog is constantly licking EVERYTHING around the pups and herself. Assume everything is saliva. Kind of like the floor is lava?

@aenon True haha. But I don’t normally get hives from her kisses.

@heblessedinsideme Like humans when we give birth the momma dogs hormones changed. It has caused a reaction in you. It likely will go away soon

@heblessedinsideme I had one litter I had a reaction to. It went away after the first few days. Never happened since. It was the weirdest thing.
