poor guy! I would ditch the last bottle of shampoo you used, note it and not restock it again.

Definitely! I think I’ll give him another bath soon with the medicated shampoo I was using. Maybe it will help wash away whatever is on him that is irritating his skin.
That doesn't sound like an idea that could hurt anything. At least if he hasn't had hives for a couple - three months, you know you're doing a lot right. It's probably not his food/other lifestyle items you would have to guess at.

Are you rinsing him enough? They say when you think you’re done rinsing them, rinse them again.

I feel like I am but next time I’ll rinse him even more/longer to see if it helps!

I haven’t given him another bath yet since I’ve been so busy, but yesterday morning most of the hives were gone and today they look to be completely cleared up! I’m so happy because I was worried they would stick around for awhile like last time. Hopefully now that I won’t be using that shampoo we won’t have anymore issues 
So glad to hear it! Hives are just awful spiteful things! Hopefully you got it narrowed down now!
Without a doubt. I had hives for a good share of November and so did our trainer so I'm guessing it was environmental since we don't live too far apart.
Good and bad news. His hives are nearly gone, probably 80% better than the day we went to the vet!
I’m not sure if it could be due to the steroids, or just random, but I suspect he has a uti now.
Hi I know this is an older post but I was wondering if you ever found out what was causing this?? My 7 month old male went to the vet yesterday with hive like bumps. They suggested Claritin and a certain shampoo that I have ordered. TIA for any advise!!

I’ve speculated a lot on the cause and I’m not 100% sure still. Two times he has had more severe looking hives, the first time it happened a year ago, then again in June. Although they look like hives they were never really responsive to any type of treatment. He’s had them more mild looking a few times. I was just talking to a women about this at a dog show since she’s been involved with Dobermans since the 80’s. She said the way I bathe him is probably distributing the hair follicle and making the hair raised/bumped. I’m not sure if she’s right but honestly it makes sense to me! He never feels bumpy, just looks it.
Thank you for you reply! So it just went away on its own? We feed PPP and just switched from chicken to salmon. Hoping it’s that but worried it’s environmental. Gave Claritin last night and don’t see much if any improvement
What exactly does she mean by that? What way are you bathing him?

She said it’s likely from putting the shampoo directly onto him, and to try putting it on a sponge and bathing him that way. I’ve heard someone say that before too, so I’m hoping she’s right lol.

Yes, eventually it just cleared up!Thank you for you reply! So it just went away on its own? We feed PPP and just switched from chicken to salmon. Hoping it’s that but worried it’s environmental. Gave Claritin last night and don’t see much if any improvement
I hope the meds work for you and he clears up soon!
Thank you!!

Interesting. FWIW, I've always premixed the shampoo in a bucket and poured half of it over Kaiser, then use zoom groom in the same direction as the hair, then pour the remaining bucket over him. The loosened dirt comes out, then I rinse extra. I have seen people rub a dog's coat in the opposite direction - whether wet or dry - and it always makes me cringe, can't imagine it feels good to the dog either. I can see that it would irritate the hair follicles.
