And Carmen, thank you for telling me about the bee sting and what you dealt with with Luma. Brandi did have an area with two bumps that she had been digging at that I pointed them out to the vet. But they can not give her a storied because it will counteract with the healing process do to her liver level being slightly elevated.

What did they do when Luma was stung?
First thing was they gave her an Epi Pen, which is like an emergency self injection that only delays an allergic reaction, so that they could look for and remove the stinger. It was in her tongue. She got a shot (can't remember the name, but basically it was a large and extra strength shot of benadryl) and steroids. Scariest thing ever! I was completely panicked and literally thought she was going to die in my arms, in the car! We have a backup epi pen just in case, and I take it with us wherever we go, but they are expensive, kinda hard to acquire, and they have an expiration date. Still totally worth it because it saved Luma's life.
