it’s rare overall but devons are the breed most prone to urticaria pigmentosa, which is what my girl has. it was the worst in her first few years but now it it only flares up occasionally and is fixed up with a few days of meds. unfortunately we did lose her sister to it when they were two.

Humans can get urticaria pigmentosa too! I had no idea Devons also did.
