Bumps on dog

My dog just came in from outside and I notices he now has about12 bumps on his body. The bumps are all different sizes. Could this be mosquito bites and if so what should I do?

I agree with KAL - it sounds like an allergic reaction to something, possibly insect bites.  For otherwise healthy dogs, the dose of benedryl is 1 mg per pound of the dog's body weight.  Hope your pup is doing better by now.  :-)

Probably bug bites(maybe bees) or an allergy. If they seem to bother him, try Benadryl (call your vet for your dog's dosage and to confirm it is safe for him). If they persist, get a professional opinion.
