Confused No more ants for Magic!!!

Friday night, while on a walk Magic got into some ants and we think got biten several times...at first we worried very little about it, until she started acting like her paws were hurting her, so we called the vet and they told us to give her some Benadryl...we did as directed and noticed right away she wasn't acting like herself...she didn't want to eat, or really even play!!! We let her sleep the night and then this morning grew even more concerned when she still would not eat...after much coaxing, we got her to eat a few pieces but less than a hour later she threw that up...it was then that we knew we need to see the vet immediately...

We took her to the emergency clinic and after a long wait it was determined that the ant bits had thrown her little system into shock...they gave her some fluids under her skin to get her hydrated again, drew some blood (which everything came back normal), gave her some anibotites, and gave her a shot to calm her stomach done....we were so scared for her!!! But in the end, she got to come home and within a few hours has finally started to get back to her old self...she will be on meds for a while but the docs think she should be okay!!!

On the way home, we told Magic, no more ants and no more playing in ant beds!!! We are just to thankful that she is okay....
