Miss Bumpy Head - UPDATE #34 - Going to the vets!

[Jods]

Mercedes gets them like that when she gets bit by mosquitoes they go down quite fast too.

[Freedom]

How odd! Glad that you are keeping on top of it, and pleased that she is better; TWICE!

Anytime you need dosage info, you can always phone your pharmacy and ask them. I have even phoned an ER/24 vet hospital and they've been willing to give me dosage info by phone.

How is miss Nala doing today?

They get baths once a week? LUCKY pups!

[Kfamr]

It's getting worse. Nala woke up this morning with hives completely all over her body. She seemed to be a bit itchy (itching her face mostly.) We hadn't even been outside or eaten anything yet. JUST woke up.


I called the Vet and we will be going to the vets today at 3:40.

Gave her a bit of benadryl with her breakfast to help her a bit.

[wolf_Q]

Poor Nala. I hope the vet will be able to figure out what is causing this!

[cassiesmom]

Miss Nala, I'm sorry you are itchy! Hopefully the Benadryl works quickly and the doctor will figure out what's giving you the hives. Feel better soon, pretty one.

[Lori Jordan]

Poor Nala,sending good vibes your way,Im sure everything will be figured out,Never in my life have i ever seen such a thing.Did the vet suggest anything?

[pitc9]

Oh MY!!

I hope the vet has an answer for you!

Awww, poor Nala. Duke got like this one time years ago when he got a tick on him. We went for a walk in the park and the next morning I found a tiny tick on him. Not long after I removed it his entire body got hives all over just like that. His third eyelids even swelled and were protruding out. He had not been neutered yet at the time and lets just say that his manly parts were probably at least 3 times their normal size and strawberry red!!! He ended up with a cortisone shot and taking benedryl for a day or two. But he did not get all itchy (if he was he did not show it).

I will be thinking of her. Please give her some kisses from me.

Poor Nala! Hope the vet can cure those hives quickly.

[beeniesmom]

Oooh, poor baby.
That REALLY looks exactly like what Frankie gets after his bath.
I hope it's nothing more than a little allergy to something.

[k9krazee]

Oh poor Nala! Hope it gets resolved quickly!

[K9soul]

Oh poor Nala girl . Tasha developed a really bad reaction last fall to something. It seemed to start out minor and I thought she was just a bit itchier than usual. Then one day it suddenly seemed to escalate badly and she was shivering and had hives all over. I had recently had her on a different food and took her off that. She went to the vet and got a shot and also a little course of prednisone, Benadryl didn't help her. The hives healed up and went down and never came back. My highest suspicion is the food. It had salmon in it which she had never had before. The vet said it could have started out a minor allergy but kept building up in her system to become worse and worse, similar to someone who is allergic to bee stings having a worse reaction every time they are stung.

Anyway, I hope Nala can feel better soon and you can find and eliminate the culprit. If she's been on a new food lately I'd try changing that first. Even then it took Tasha a week or two to really be more herself again.

[chocolatepuppy]

Oh no, I hope they find out quickly what's wrong with Nala.

[Alysser]

I hope it's nothing serious. Poor Nala.
