| Rushing Luma to ER vet We were at the dog park and everything was fine. Hear a yelp and I ran over and Luma was drooling and her eyes were swollen shut. I scooped her up and we are rushing tto the vet...stuck in STUPID, STUPIDtraffic for a home football game...her tongue and lipss are huge. Shes whining. I am so scared, crying, trying to get us to the vet. I dont know what happened. Maybe stung by a wasp or even bitten by a snake...there are danger signs posted at the park to watch for snakes...Ibfeel so bad. Please pray for my sweet, sweet baby. Will update.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Oh dear, my heart aches for you. Drive safe, call vet. I like the idea of Fire station if things get worse for Luma, and or you can't get to your vet. Praying for you both!!!

| We just got to the vet. Lips even more swollen, couldnt get any benadryl in her if I tried. Dont know what theyre going to do yet...well they just assessed her. Normal temp, slightly elevated heartbeat. Theyre givingg her a high dose of benadryl that is extra strength..and a steroid shot, whicn she hated..I mean, was screaming and trying to escape...it made me cry, but I know it will help her. They said theyd send us home with something to continue helping her but I dont know what, yet. Theyre monitoring her for a while.
