Another allergy thread

Picked up my pup about a month ago at 16 weeks . He’s vet check up was ruled in great health , nice mass , great coat and so on .
A months goes by now at 16 weeks , “taco” the pup start showing some kind of bumps on his belly ( happened this weekend ). At first I thought maybe it was from the grass and it would eventually go away since he didn’t scratch him self and seemed fine .
But as of yesterday the bump seem to start to itch on him and noticed couple of more bumps on his head/neck area ( these look more like mosquito bite compared to the on his belly ) .
I haven’t changed anything different that I could think of on his diet .
Food: Raw Stella and chewys ( beef ) for : 3weeks
Treats : off-leash ( both chicken and beef ) :3weeks
Kiwi Kitchen (beef liver ) 1 week
JUST STARTED : grizzly pollock oil and coconut oil

Regardless , iv scheduled a vet appointment for tomorrow ( the soonest one they had ) . Hate to have this as my first post other then my introduction

Ohhh . I gave him 16mg of Benadryl as of an hour ago .

Poor baby. I deal with allergies all year long with mine. Ugh. Just gave her a cytopoint injection today.

Sorry Taco isn't feeling well. Cytopoint injection seems to be the best treatment these days for environmental allergies, so if vet thinks it's allergies, I would ask him to inject that rather than prescribe apoquel or prednisone tablets. Treatment may differ if he feels it's something different, eg. staph infection. He may also want you to shampoo Taco with a chlorhexidine/ketoconazole shampoo like Curaseb or Ketohex. Also, start giving an antihistamine such as cetirizine 0.5 mg/pound once daily regularly during summer.

Not related, but if Taco smells like corn chips ( ie. has a yeast infection ) , you might be better off getting raw food that doesn't contain any fruit since the sugar can feed yeast.

Yes good new , Vet visit when great and told me I did great with giving him Benadryl. She said that she would’ve done the same recommendation before Prescribing anything serious . I have a follow up in 5 days , mean while to continue giving him Benadryl twice a day until his follow up.
The vet also gave me a flea treatment even tho he has no fleas ( one pill per month ) . Iv ordered ketohex as well .

Update : Tacos rash is completely gone . He had some dry spots on top of his neck and one of them turn into a hotspot ( I think ) . Anything I should do to improve it ? Or thoughts
