Does he get the welts when he's outside? After eating a particular food?
Sounds like he's allergic to something.

This could even be Lyme Disease caused by tick bites. If you are adding any creams or ointments make sure you don't apply them anywhere that your dog can reach to **** . If she does begin that it won't do the welts any good and could upset her stomach. Unfortunately, Lyme is not the only disease caused by ticks, so you could be dealing with the two other diseases, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Ehrlichia. Typical signs of Lyme disease include loss of energy, appetite, and sometimes lameness or swollen joints.
