Just got back from ER with Mylee

Poor Mylee...and poor you. How scary. You might want to try some warm compresses on that bump.

Hope she is feeling better real soon

I'm just now seeing this. I'm so sorry Mylee is not feeling well. I hope she keeps improving and is 100% well really soon. Hugs and kisses from us.

I hope Mylee will be better tomorrow. Don't you hate it when you don't know what is wrong?

[Britster]

I'm glad she seems to be doing better! Poor thing. I hate when they scare us like that suddenly.

It DOES sound like some sort of bite or something to me.

But hope all continues to be well.

Boy, Kendra when it rains it pours, you just get Mac back to normal and then poor Mylee is not feeling good. Hopefully it was just a bite and better today.

Glad to hear that Mylee is feeling a little better .... it does sound like a sting or something .... never even thought of the grass seed. These little ones get into everything. I would bring her to her regular vet just in case. Hugs to you both.

Poor Mylee! I pray she is back to 100% today. It is twice as scary when you can't figure out what is wrong.

I wish I would have thought about it being a bee sting yesterday when we went to the vet. As violently as she reacted, and the fact that she was right beside me the whole time and I didn't see anything, I honestly thought it was neurological. It scared me that bad. We have had a couple of hard freezes already and bees are not something we'd expect to see but I did see them out there yesterday (after thought). The vet didn't even consider it. Mylee probably only needed benedryl rather than all the pain meds they gave her. When the vet couldn't find anything she said Mylee is "ultra" sensitive. She did get up twice in the night and scratched hard enough I had to stop her.

I watched her for a few minutes thinking it was temporary, but she was working herself up into a panting mess and wouldn't let us touch her ear so off we went. The suddeness of the onset of this scared me to death.

Nothing! No infection, no irritation, ear is clean with nothing lodged. So the vet checked her for a dislocated jaw or a broken tooth, and her eyes for neurological. Nothing. But she is clearly uncomfortable with pain and holding her ear down. They treated her for pain and gave her something they said was similar to morphine. She (vet) said if she's not better in a couple of days they will go ahead and treat her for an infection, but she doesn't see any at this point. She's laying beside now resting but lifts her head every few minutes and shakes it and her ear is still droopy. Poor baby. I'm glad it was (at first glance) nothing, but the cause is still bothering me. It's got to be something. Any ideas?

sounds like a bite....put aloe vera on it...Lucky999

I did just have another thought....could it have been an ant?? I know Trixie went crazy once when she has an ant on her muzzle until I found it and plucked it off ..... She was shaking her head and moving her mouth really wierd that it made me nervous too.

[AllDogBoots]

Poor Mylee. I am glad she's feeling better. Poor Mommy too! I'm a nervous wreck when these things happen so I imagine it must have been very scary for you!

[Ahis_Mama]

Just seeing this now and i'm glad she is feeling better!

[Lil Sis]

Poor mylee... Did you find out what it was for sure? It does sound like a bee sting to me,
