Emergency run to the vet yesterday

Wow, your poor baby. I have had emergencies. but none like that - mysterious bites and all. I am glad she is showing improvement today.. I know how you feel with the exhaustion part. The last time I felt like that was because my female dog was giving birth and I worked the night before (3rd shift) she started labor around 11am- I called work and told them I would not be in that night - little did I know that she would take all day.. the last pup was hours before it would come. we thought we had lost it as she had some green discharge (not a good color to see come out of your dog) we brought her to the ER vet down the street- they took X-rays said there was one more. But said it was still okay. We went back home after a couple more hours of waiting.. I finally passed out laying next to her.. on the floor. My friend woke me up after about 20 minutes of sleep:) and we got the last pup. He was technically born on a different day than all the rest. We were so worried about him- the others all had a jump on nursing and he was pushed aside a bit. We bottle fed him a little and he ended up being just fine but we ended up losing another one. In fact That pup,at their first exam and shots ended up weighing more than all the other pups. But I tell you I swore I would never have another litter again, because I had NEVER felt so TIRED. I hope your baby is well on her way to recovery. What a scare!

hi friend. nothing to say but you have make me laugh.

Nothing like that has ever happened. My oldest was so sick when she was a tot that I thought she was going to die.... exhausted from some nasty virus I stayed awake for 3 days giving her an eye dropper of water every 5 min, monitoring her temp.

I had a cat come home with a huge paw...it looked like a cartoon character after it was blown up with air. I couldn't see anything so I took her to the vet and it turned out that she was having an allergic reaction to a bee sting. He gave her a shot and it went down. This same cat used to get a swollen upper lip for no reason that I could find so sometimes she had to get a shot for that...depending on how big the lip got. I'm glad Cookie is doing better.

Oh my frien i am so happy to hear you baby is doing better,when my my babies get sick or hurt i am right there.My dogs are just like my kids you take care.

haha, once bitten twice shy, next time she will shake with fear when face with whatever bitten her. I hope you have taken the picture of her swollen face! Next time when she's naughty again, you can remind her of the swollen face. Anyway, she's recovering, just consider it as a state of involuntary weight loss!

hi dragon54u you know what, I would be that a spider bit your dog. My son got bitten on the face by a large spider 'and his face swelled up and he could hardly swallow and was really weak for a couple of days. He went to our doctor who gave hime some benadryl double strength tablets plus an IV of benadryl. the swelling went down in a day or so and the throat swelling disappeared right after the I.V. we dont even know what kind of a spider it was but it sure made my son ill.
