Hello, I recently washed my dog, who is a 3 year old English Bulldog. It's been a few hours since washing her and she has developed large red bumps all over her body. She does not look to be in pain, is acting normal and even playing, but I am wondering if this is possibly an allergic reaction or something more serious? Also, would something like Benadryl be ok to give to help this?

This is probably an allergic reaction due to shampoo you used to wash her. those reactions tend to resolve within 48 hours without treatment. if the swelling becomes too large or if your dog is lethargic, take her to the vet in order to get an antihistamine injection.
