So... I'm laying on the couch last night, channel surfing, when my dog runs out the bedroom with kind of a goofy look on her face.  She's running around all hibbly-bibbly and scratching at her ear. ÂÂ
Now, we've been having a bit of a "parasite" problems (tics), so I figure she's got one on her ear.  I get down and look everything over, and she looks ok, but I notice the inside of one of her ears is kind of red.  I didn't really think anything of it, and just chalked it up to her being a goof ball some of the time (ok, most of the time... )
Off puppy goes back into the bedroom, presumabley to see what Becky is doing.  The next thing I hear is Becky asking me to "Come here, right now!!"  Considering Becky is in the bedroom and calling for me, I oblige. ÂÂ
I walk around the corner, and there is Alley, puffing up and swelling before my eyes...  Her poor nose was all lumpy and here jowels all swollen, eyelids puff and she just looked miserable. ÂÂ
I run accross the street to the Quick Stop and get her some Benadryl, then high tail it back to the house.  She's not having any problems breathing or anything, but she's swollen up like water balloon all around her head.  Being the little piggy she is, Alley wolfs down the Benadryl and then crawl onto my lap on the floor...  nothing like having 70 lbs of sick labrador in your lap for fun on a Sunday evening.
The drugs do the trick and the swelling goes down in about 15 minutes.  Of course now my dog is drugged up, she was pretty out of it.  I got no sleep last night, since I woke up every hour to make sure she was still breathing, which was easy to tell because she was snorring ÂÂ
Is having kids any easier???
