You may never know what you reacted to. That's the bitch with allergy tests. They may tell you pollen or ragweed or pet dander are your allergies. Good luck. Kill your dog and stay inside in a bubble.
good joke, it's the OT so I was ready for that. But really can you image if it's my dog - I'd be heart broken.

I assume you have a steroid dose pack with your ER visits. You said Benadryl. Also throw in some Pepcid, Zantac, or Tagamet. If not already. I did not see you mention that.
This is what they gave me. Waiting to go to CVS to fill the steroid dose pack here soon.
I'm supposed to get my wisdom teeth pulled this coming Friday too - yay.

Optometrist is the correct answer.

I went through the same thing as you are going through. I had hives that lasted for 5or 6 days. I would go every morning to the doctor and he would give me two shots. It waxed and waned over the 6 days. On the 5th day or so it flared up so bad that the welps appeared on my junk and on the bottom of my feet, so I could hardly walk. On the 6th day when I went for my shots the doc told me if I still had them the next day, he was going to hospitalize me. And later that day and night, poof, they went away.
The doc gave me some stuff to put in bath water where I could lay in the water and soak and that would help with the itchiness.
I asked him what caused it and he asked me some basic questions about what I had eaten previous to the breakout, but we couldn't pinpoint a culprit. After the hives subsided he didn't send me for allergy testing, he said that they may never return. Its been 20 years and they have never returned, so he was right about taking a wait and see on the allergy testing.
I can feel your pain, I've been there.
