Default Shelby update

Shelby had her check up and bloodwork done this week and she is 100% okay. yay. I have gotten brave enough to take her for walks again but I don't let her walk on the grass very much, just the sidewalk so I can see any bees. I also keep Benedryl with me at all times AND a dispenser so I can give it to her immediately if needed.

Her vet also made up an emergency kit for me that she hopes I never have to use. Very scary learning how to give her a shot of epinephrine IN HER MUSCLE if I can't get her to the vet!!! The vet said the only reason she is giving me this is because my little girl will die anyway if I don't have the option. Not a great feeling but we will do the best we can.

Get some liquid benedryl, a dispenser and find out the dose your dog needs. Keep it where you can get to it in a hurry. If you know your dog is stung, don't sit and watch it for symptoms...or come on Yorkietalk and ask. Go sit in the vet office or in the parking lot to watch You can't believe how fast they can die if they are allergic.

Thanks again everyone.
