Poor Shadow...Vet Update!

**k9krazee** · 03-04-2006, 02:44 PM

Yesterday Shadow and Mini got in a little fight, immediately afterwards we checked them both out and no injuries were noticed. When Shadow came up to eat last night we noticed her face was very swollen

I'm pretty sure its because of the fight, I don't know what else it could be from. Is there anything we can do for her, I feel so bad...

She is acting 100% normal, but you can still tell its a little painful.

Of course, taking her to the vet and having it checked out would be the very best thing to do for her.

Definately!! They are all due for their shots so we'll have them check her out then

But we can't get in until Monday, so I was wondering if we could do anything in the meantime...

I'm not sure what you should do. Is it an open cut or a swollen bump?

I hope Shadow feels better soon!! ((hugs)) For you, Shadow.

Oh no poor girl. Yous are in my thoughts.
Are there any puncture marks or anything? Anything wrong with the inside of her mouth? Without knowing what caused it it's hard to tell what to do about it.

I hope the vet visit goes well with it. That's how Maggie got a salivary gland cyst (Belle got irritated and bit at her head/neck pretty hard before I could get them separated). If you want to see more info about that situation, I gave a very lengthy explanation of how they occur and the treatment Maggie had, etc. in the 'bump on dog's face' thread, also here in the dog health section. Best wishes for a quick recovery!
