I had to take my puppy to the emergency room again. Last friday she got stung by something and her face swelled up. She had to go stay at the vets office for several hours. She was given a steroid and benedryl. THIS friday, she was due for her 12 week vaccines. The vet gave her benedryl before just to be on the safe side, but by the time I got back to the apt, she had started swelling. Eventually (even though I gave her another dose of benedryl) she developed hives all over her face and neck and started whining constantly. I rushed her to the local vet, and 150 dollars later, she was doing alright. Apparently, she cannot recieve more than one vaccine at a time becuase shes so sensitive, and even then, the new vet said they should probably give her benedryl before the single vaccine. Great. My dad said I should just hit her in the head really hard and start over, and hope that i have better luck the next time I get a puppy. (He was kidding by the way). Shes my baby and I love her, but I really hope this doesnt set the tone for the rest of her life. Poor baby. Shes doing much better though. I on the other hand, am having to read incesently for the rest of the weekend.
