Hugs to Riley. I'm glad she's getting better.

Kia nearly died having an allergic reaction to a medicine. Scary stuff.

I'm happy to hear Riley is better!

Hi LuckiLab03,

We are very glad to hear Riley is doing ok!! You have entered riley in our Best In Show contest and we loved the pictures that you sent. Our feelings here was of some were sad and some were mad. The people that were mad was upset that the vet gave the shots and didn't know how much to give or the reactions of some drugs when they interact with another.

We give a HUGE applaud to the emergency vet for fixing something that could have easily turned this thread into something worse. Now! A message to Riley...Keep your health up because we need you to strut your stuff in the contest!

Aw, poor Riley. I'm glad to hear that she's doing better. It must have been scary for you guys.

Give her a hug for me!

Poor Riley. I am glad to hear that she is doing better. She looked so sad last night. I hope she continues to improve.

Wow, what a terrible reaction to have. I'm so glad Riley was
checked out so quickly. The swelling is really visable in the pics.
Hope she's feeling much better now.

I'm glad to hear Riley is doing better! Nebo's nose swoll up like that once too I called the vet and they said most likely he was stung by a bee.

We took Riley to the vet...
... and she got her rabbies shot and some other one. ...

Exactly WHAT "shots" did she get???

Did she possibly get the 6-month Heartworm preventative injection -
called "ProHeart 6" ??

That stuff was taken off the market after MANY dogs got sick (Kim's Kia
was one); and some died after getting a ProHeart 6 injection.

The stuff has just recently been put back on the market, and
Vets are using it again as a Heartworm preventative.

Also - SOME dogs DO have severe reactions to the "standard"
multi-purpose yearly vaccination shot -
you should discuss this with your primary Vet - possibly Riley
should NOT get yearly vaccinations.

I think Phred has the right idea. You do want to have personal knowledge of just what shots were given during that initial visit, so you know exactly what to avoid in the future. This was just too scary to have to encounter again.

How fortunate that you were able to get the relief Riley needed from that last vet visit.

Don't use Pro-Heart....
