last week Roo was stung  by a yellowjack, no symptoms or side effects, 3 days later he developed bumps all over his torso, not on his face or stomach

I gave him benadryl, he has had itcing and unknown allergies before, the vet cannot figure it out

any advice for me, he eats and plays noramlly, but itches constantly despite benadryl, antihistmines. etc.

I've tried fish oils, diet changes, sprays, washes, oatmeal baths, vitamins, salmon oil, derma shampoos, vet prescribed shampoos, steroids etc.

poor guy! my dobie is constantly being stung by yellowjackets, and now runs inside anytime she thinks she hears one buzzing within 10 ft of her.  since the bumps started several days after he got stung, it may not be related to that...

there's a post in 'just chat' about coconut oil that you might want to check out...it helped another rattie with chronic skin problems.
