plus...dogs deliberately seek out and dive slide through garbage ...like dirty diaper and moldy mack and cheese mixed with cigar ash dumpster phage ...

Haha yeah my dog just cost $400 past two weeks in ear infections because she’s a lab and that’s what they do. I will say, I would probably just monitor the hives unless the following below are present … but my wife would absolutely take the dog to the vet, haha. If the dog wasn’t feeling discomfort, sick, or raspy breathing, I’d wait but my wife would want to rush to the Vet to be sure. To each their own. While mild hives and raised hackles will typically resolve on their own within 24 to 72 hours, you should contact your veterinarian if you notice any of the following symptoms: [1] Swelling on the face, muzzle, or eyes Lethargy, vomiting, or difficulty breathing The raised spots are spreading, blistering, or causing your dog intense itching The bumps do not go away after 2-3 days.

I wonder if a sting or the grass. The vet just texted back saying it may be hives too. We can bring her in for 3:30. What an expensive day…$2000 to get my AC fixed and I’m sure this will be a couple hundred bucks

Incredible nighttime temp disparities last night. Bittinger mesonet site in Garrett County dipped to 38 degrees, while Frostburg only got down to 51. Further east, the urban heat island effect was very evident in Baltimore. Towson cooled to 50 degrees, while Baltimore City's Montebello station only drifted down to 61.

Quick search would lead me to believe hives. Raised fur but smooth skin. First pup cup could be cause, might be something in that she’s sensitive to. As long as her breathing and other functions seem fine, I’d just monitor it. Could give Benadryl if concerned, but I would call Vet before hand as dosage is weight dependent. Hives (Allergic Reaction): This is the most common reason for bumps that feel like raised fur but have smooth skin underneath. It usually occurs as a reaction to an insect bite, or a new environmental trigger (e.g., pollen).

Yup. I rubbed my hands across and didn’t feel anything lumpy. A friend of mine said shedding but there’s no loose hair or hair coming off easily and it’s just that side.

So the skin is smooth under that?

I am wondering if it’s a grass allergy (though she’s been rolling around in the grass for the few weeks we’ve had her). She did eat a pup cone a few hours ago which is a peanut butter flavor. Was thinking bee sting but the skin doesn’t have any bumps. It’s just the fur

Yeah or did she roll or lay in something that irritated the skin on that side. I wouldn’t be too worried. But sometimes a quick trip to the vet is the best for your own mental well-being.

hives? maybe allergic to something she ate or got into? try and shave off some of the fur and see what the skin looks like..or just take to vet

78/48 brilliant

Texted the vet but a little worried. Never saw this. I was going to google it too but every time you google this stuff the return is usually some doom and gloom worst case scenario

Did a Google image and found this thread on reddit..

The weekly drought monitor is going to start being of interest across a wide part of the sub given the dryness. We need some rain soon.

Has anyone seen this happen with a dog before? Her fur is like bubbled up. She doesn’t seem in any pain or distress. Can’t feel anything on her skin

97-98 was a massive winter for my area in the southern Appalachians (100 inches plus) which shows the potential such an ENSO outcome could produce.

40.2 at 6:15.

Here we go folks. June 2nd was the 2nd day in a row of a steep warming in 3.4 (another 0.09) (RONI up to ~+0.7C). That makes it a two day warming total of 0.18C! It hasn’t warmed at this rate since way back in mid-April. A notable but delayed warming after the start of a long and strong -SOI period is common and was in addition to model hints why I said on Monday before this two day rise to expect after the prior 15 day pause next week’s weekly 3.4 update to be a few ticks warmer:

Perfection

The "wheel of misfortune" cut off still trying ruin it for Scott!

Well it is almost officially summer after all. Enjoy!

52 this morning. Felt fantastic on my run. Can't beat that for early June.

Nice day, could be better yet could be much worse. Take
