Riley is still not feeling good :/
Just a little update on Riley (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=81277)..
Whatever got her and made her face blow up with hives is still in her system. My mom said this morning hives were popping up above her eyes..

and now we notice that her ears (especially her left one.. when her snout turned into one big hive last time the left side was the biggest) are really thick.

Luckily the vet was in her office today doing paperwork so my mom took her in and she gave her a slow acting shot of prednisone and a fast acting one.
She just looks really tired and sad. She's not herself at all. Today is the 4th day she's had this allergic reaction, the vet said she's never seen one go on this long. Dr. Kyle told my mom that they don't know what they are going to do about her shots next year, they're considering giving them seperate.. then pre-meding her with benedryl and then keeping her there for a while to watch her.

She also has a rash of red blotches on her tummy and inside her ears. That.. along with her chronic ear infection. Poor girl :(

I'm guessing it might have been prednisone that the vet gave her.
Poor Riley. She definitely has that *woe is me* look. I hope that her system will get on top of this soon.

Poor sweetie pie.
If your vet is sure the reaction was caused by the shots.
I would ask your vet if it is even necessary for Riley to
have them every year and maybe try every-other year
and separating them as he suggested.
You might want to ask him about using Killed
vacines whenever possible or if their are other
alternatives to the shots such as Nosodes.
(I am not familiar with Nosodes, but I know
some anti shot people use it)
(excluding Rabies which are required by law)
Sheba in the last couple of years
I chose to giver her the Puppy shot instead of the 7&1.
Because of her old age, is skipping her
shot this year all together, untill the next year.
Give Riley lots of (((HUGS)))
