Daisey's first hospital experience!

Well last night was exciting by far. First I had a long day at work after not feeling well and all to get home and get ready to take the dog to the vet for her annual shots and check up. The vet encouraged us to change her water dish from metal to ceramic or plastic, so we head over to walmart to get the dish, in which I ran into adiel and Malachi (which was nice to get to talk to them). Then we arrive at home about 6:30pm. I promptly start making dinner while elijah puts fresh water in daisey's new water bowl. While we are doing that daisey starts scratching her face and I didn't think anything of it at first, then she starts rubbing her face on the kitchen floor so I take a look at her face and " wow" it is swollen I couldn't believe it so I had to get a second opinion so I ask lij to look at her face and he says promptly "Call the vet back" of course they are closed.

So I start to panic a little because I new she was having a reaction to the shots but I wasn't sure at that point what to do, I did not want to wait until the next day who knows what would have happened. So, I grab the phone book and start called every and any vet office that is close to us to see if I can at least get someone on the phone to get some ideas, finally after calling about 3 I get ahold of someone, and to make things better right when I get her on the phone Daisey starts throwing up I am thinking " great now she is throwing up" So I told that to the lady on the phone and she says " get in the car and take her to the emergency vet on 38th Street by the zoo they open at 8pm by the time you get there, they should be open and give her benadryl". That was at 7:15pm, So I got the phone number for the clinic and franticaly started looking for benadryl, which by the way we had none of. So Elijah grabbed daisey, I grabbed the car keys, her collar and lesh and my purse and ran out the door and went straight to Circle K for tablets of benadryl (which we had to force in her mouth). At this point her face is so swollen she can hardly see or breath. She looked like a "Charpe" (Google images to see if you are not sure of what it looks like you have to see). So I drive as fast as I can without getting a ticket or being dangerous to the clinic at 38th street. We got there at like 7:45pm and signed her in and filled out all the needed paper work. The doctor gave her a shot of benadrl and told us to give half of a 25mg tablet every 8 hours and we left.

So that was our night. She is starting to look like a pug again this moring and when I was home for lunch.

I was scary listening to her breath like that.

Please pray for her to get better.
