until you can get him back to the vet... You know an allergic reaction can take days or weeks to get over esp when it comes to a drug that is suppose to last 30 days... and benadryl only last for 4-6 hours so I would definately give him/her some orally until you can get him back to the vet in the morning!
hope this helps

As Dawn said, it could take several days or even couple weeks for a medication to clear you dog's system. Most of us dose using the 25mg tablets (one mg per body weight or nearest) so for a 5mo old bulldog I would expect you would be giving ONE 25mg tablet. Benadryl can be given every 8hrs if needed for hives or other allergic reaction but at that dose some dogs become drowsy, so a lighter dose would be to give twice daily, both in AM and PM. Most bulldogs tolerate that quite well. If you need to give this medication more than 3 consecutive days, you may want to double-check with your vet to be sure that he approves continued use, or he may want you to give something else.

That is about all you can do for an allergic reaction I know sometimes if the reaction is really really bad they will give you a script for steroids but you dont want them on them if you can help it. I know it can be annoying but stick with the benadryl and they will go away but remember if this is an allergic reaction to a medication that is going to stay in his system for 30 days it might take that 30 days for his system to rid it self of it I just would NOT give him anymore of it. Try something new.
Hope he feels better! Hang in there it will get better!

All the vet said was to give him benadryll. I hope the bumps will permanently dissappear. I still don't know what caused them:(
