| Re: Allergic reaction???
Well, good news. I took Max to the emergency vet. Apparently, he did have some facial and oral swelling. Everything else physically was fine though. The vet said he most likely was stung by an insect and was having a reaction. They gave him an injection of antihistamine and another shot, too. They said he will be fine! Thank goodness!
Also, after my last post, he threw up due to him trying to eat a treat and an ice cube (I don't think he could get them down and it triggered the gag reflex). The vomit had several droplets of bright red blood.
The vomitting and blood are what made the trip to the vet a clear one! I took a sample of vomit with me. The vet said the fresh blood in the vomit was most likely due to him rupturing a capillaryin his throat or esophagus because of the force of the vomitting.
Just FYI in case anyone else has this situation come up.
Thanks again for your help. |
