Better News Today


The inside of her ear. Poor thing her ears actually swelled a little.

Sorry the pis aren't very good, that's what happens when you try to shoot a moving target alone.


You can see the redness on the inside of her armpit.



The inside of her thigh.


Her belly.










Bumpers was actually worse today. She did keep her dinner down last night, but this morning her breakfast complete with her antibiotic pills came up. Her face was starting to turn that reddish color of the rest of her skin and it was swelling slightly like her ears , which made her poor little eyes water. She was happy and perky, but just not quite herself. Good news was her labwork looked very normal, so no horrific diseases like auto immune disease or bleeding disorders. So what is it. We determined that in fact maybe tit wasn't blood beneath her skin but maybe a very odd pigmented rash, so our best assumption is an allergic reaction to something, time will tell if she responds to therapy. What? Who knows. We'll probably never know. Let's just hope it never comes back. So today she received benedryl injections and an injection of a very large dose of steroids. Tomorrow she'll start on oral steroids. Not my favorite drug but if it works I'll take it. Just glad we didn't get heartbreaking news today. I'll keep you all posted on her treatment and if it's working.

Poor thing. Could it allergic reactions to flea bites? My MIL had a dog that displayed very similar things and even though the dog didn`t have fleas on it, when they would bite her she would look exactly the same!

Whatever the problem, I hope it clears up soon for her!
