You just never know what it could be...Could be the antibiotics, could be the food...I just had to take Miko off of Hill's u/d because he was having a bad reaction for some reason. His vet just prescribed it for him the other day, but he has been pressing his head after meals and then today, after going on an eating strike yesterday, he had a seizure. So no more u/d for Miko...We called the vet, and he said something in the food must be affecting him(Miko has liver problems though). But the food is supposed to be safe for dogs with liver problems, so I don't know...Just thought I'd share that with you. I know lots of people whose dogs are on the Hill's prescription diets and they do wonderfully though. But Miko has also had reactions to certain medicines too that I had no clue he was allergic to before we gave it to him. Well, keep us updated!!

OK I'm back. Debbie says of course she can't diagnose, since she hasn't seen the dog but highly doubts that it's the ID. Perhaps the antibiotic, but she doubts that too. She thinks it's more likely that she got into something or something got onto her. She thinks that as long as her breathing is normal and there is no swelling, you can wait to take her to the vet tomorrow or try a phone call to him tomorrow.

She doesn't like giving dogs benedryl although she knows other vets do. She suggests something to distract the dog from scratching - something else to chew on, water spray from a bottle which will also cool her.

But she wants me to be sure to tell you she can't be certain without having seen Kayla.

The red around her eyes I can't really get with the camera very well. But the picture of her belly is how red it is under her hair, too.

Yorkieluv · 03-16-2007, 07:51 PM

Let us know tomorrow how she's doing!

Tink's Mom · 03-16-2007, 07:52 PM

Oops I forgot to say there is a product for hot spots that you can use to help if she is digging in one or two areas. I can't remember what she called it. Oh Cortisol spray!

Thank you so much for coming back and for talking to Deb! I REALLY appreciate it. Ok, I'll skip the Benadryl and try to wait till morning when I have appointment scheduled. I'm so afraid of losing her... they can go so fast when something is wrong...

Think I can use that all over her where she is red or would that be too much stuff on her?

daisy mae06 · 03-16-2007, 07:56 PM

I agree with Debbie

And thank you susie

You are the best.

Teri thank you for the Pictures. It don't look like it has a rased bump or swelling.Is it Hot to the touch warmer than normal?
It may just be her body fighting the infection...

No raised bumps or swelling - it does feel warmer than normal, though.

I used to spray it all over Indy when he had grass allergies. I think it's safe.

Tink's Mom · 03-16-2007, 08:00 PM

Omega, I hope Kayla gets better soon. Tink had a bad night last night and it's so scary!
