Hi guys, yes, I checked her mouth, the vet checked her mouth. She isn't my normal vet at this place, he wasn't in.

I gave her some of the Benadryl and she conked out. She then woke up and seemed fine, so we went for a little walk. When we came home, she sneaked past the gate and got to the bag of garbage and got out a spare rib bone and ran around the house with it. I bribed her with a raw, semi frozen patty thinking I could get the spare rib bone AND the patty. I miscalculated. She grabbed the freakin patty and ran around with THAT in her mouth trying to eat it. I sneaked up on her to try and get it out of her mouth and she swallowed it whole.

She is now conked on the couch. I am hoping that the Benadryl is what worked and calmed down whatever was going on in her mouth because she appears to be o.k. now. Either that or the lure of the bone and then the patty overrided everything, but the food didn't work earlier.

I guess I will know tomorrow when we get up and see how she is. Based upon her behavior tonight after the Benadryl, she appears to be back to her little monster (OH GOD PLEASE MAKE THAT BE TRUE - I WILL NEVER COMPLAIN AGAIN ABOUT HER) self.

Anyway, I will post tomorrow and if she isn't any better, I am going to call the vet's office and see her regular vet.
