Sadie's vet visit....and a question..

[Kfamr]

I do think Benadryl may help her.


Has it gone down at all? Does she seem bothered by it, like if you touch it?

I've never really experienced swelling of the muzzle/eyes so I really don't know what to tell you. Thinking of you guys, of course.

Amber, how's Sadie? did you give her Benydral? hope she's better. there are a lot of "no see ums" outside this time of year

She seems to be fine this morning. I gave her a Benadrl last night and I think I am going to give her another one just for good measure. Her eye area that was swollen has pretty much gone down but her muzzle/nose is still a little swollen, barely noticeable. Seems to have been an allergeric reaction, probably to her shots. Thanks for the thoughts.

Glad she is okay except for the swelling. I am sure it is just a light reaction to the shots. As long as it isn't to bad I wouldn't worry. You might want to call the vet just to make sure!

I would certainly call your vet to report what had happened so they can record it in her file and also give you any advice. Last year Tucker had a reaction (for the first time) to his shots. Fortunately it happened before we left the parking lot. He started throwing up. We took him back in and they quickly took him into the back and gave him some other type of medication for the reaction.

This year, prior to his shot his was given a specific medication to help prevent that type of a reaction, and it worked, because he had no problems.

I would definitely call your vet. They need to know this information, even though your girl seems as if she will be okay.

Meant to catch you before you signed off AIM... How's Sadie now?

Hope Sadie is feeling better today. I agree with Rachel, the reaction should be noted in the Vet's records, maybe they can do something different next time.
