So Egypt and I were outside this morning, enjoying some much needed sunshine.
She was rustling through the plants around the gazebo when she came running out, shaking her head and spinning in circles. I laughed a little and then realized she either had something in her mouth, or she was trying to get something. Then she started limping :scared:
I ran down to grab her and a few bees circled my head, but nothing major. When we got in the house, she was limping and just looked sad.
I laid in bed with her for a while, but she was trembling the whole time. She is not usually a shaker so I called the vet and they said to come right in.
When we got there, I realized her whole back leg was swollen. the vet said that some dogs get the swollen face, and some get the swelling at the site of the sting. All the vets and techs came into the room to check her out, and they ended up giving her an IV with anti-inflammatories and benadryl. Poor thing. Thankfully I learned that dogs very rarely get the throat closing reactions to stings, but that I should monitor her closely for the next 24 hours. The leg still looks HUGH. :wow:
The upside to this is that I was able to bow out gracefully from attending a wedding that I would have had to drive 200 miles each way to go to. :shrug:
