They are keeping him over night to monitor his condition closely. His blood pressure was very low at first but he was much better and acting more like himself by the time we got to see him. It broke my heart to leave him at the hospital. This night has been terrifying. |
Wow. I am so glad he is ok, and you acted so quickly. It is very scary. Last summer when Louie was 5 months he ate a bee. started to vomited right away was running through the house went to the vets right away they said he was severly allergic. Gave him 3 steriod shots, also benadryl. He was ok but very sleepy when he got home. I was wondering the same thing, do they have epi pens for dogs?
