The dogs have had a ruff week this week. Me being dumb I tried a new soft dog food for them and Abbi has had issues with it. So I stayed up basically all night Wednesday night taking her outside to go to the bathroom about every hour. Puck had an ear infection that I took him to the vet for and they gave him a shot for the swelling. Well that night (Wednesday) we had been out and when we got home let the dogs outside. When Puck came back in I noticed his face was all swollen.

Here is a normal picture of Puck so you can see the difference
I freaked out and Martin called the local animal hospital. I thought it was an allergic reaction to the shot he got at the vet and luckily we had some dog benadryl that the animal hospital told us we could give him. We watched him for the next hour and his face had started to go down. So I was up all that night with Abbi, and Seth woke Puck up around 7:00am. He was acting really funny, running around the yard and rolling everywhere, and sometimes his legs would twitch. Then I noticed his fur was all bumpy and was sticking up everywhere. I had Seth come take a look. It looked like hives all over his body. I was so worried about him. He didn't want to be around anyone and would flinch when you touched him. It started to look better around 8, so Seth waited to take him into the vet until 10. The Vet said he must have been stung by a bee and gone into anaphylactic shock. He also said if he hadn't have gotten the steroid shot and the benadryl, things would have been a lot worse. Poor puppies!!!

Poor Puppies. They're just having a tough time. Awww.
Poor doggies! Good thing Puck got those shots! :( Makes me sad. At least now you know he's allergic to bees! Keep some doggiedryl on hand...it'd be a good thing :)
