Last night I got home from work and Karma's eyes were swollen shut and her mouth was swollen to four times it's normal size. She was also covered from head to toe in golf ball size hives. She had been in the outside kennel during the day with Kenai and Kenai had nothing wrong with him. She puked in the car on the way to the emergency vet and could barely stand, her heart was pounding. The vet didn't even touch her and said it was an allergic reaction to something. I asked if they could do tests and check the oxygen level in her blood and they tried to charge a ridiculous amount of money for it and then said they wanted to do it in the back, which I said no to because she was already freaking out, she hates men and had already tried to bite the vet in the face when he tried to touch her. He said it would be best to just give a Benadryl shot and a steroid shot to her and monitor her at home so she wouldn't get too stressed out and bring her back if it got worse. She started to look better after about an hour of getting the shots. Woke up this morning and there was a huge amount of vomit in her crate and she was covered in hives on top of hives again and had a huge mouth...her jowls were huge, hard, and purple, as well as her tongue. Called the vet and he said to give her an Allegra (less side effects than Benadryl) and watch her closely. The hives are gone now but her mouth and eyes still look terrible.
I'm so worried about her. Prayers, vibes, advice, words of experience with this, PLEASE. Thank you...
