tornadosgirl Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Tonight I had made plans to go flyering, with several other GTers, for the loose dog in Woodstock,CT area. But.... 5:45 - Picked up Penny from chemo treatment at Tufts. (She threw up a couple times on the way home, but I thought she would feel better once she got home.) 6:15 - Got home and immediately noticed her face was quite swollen. Our regular vet was open til 7pm and closer than going back to Tufts, so I raced down there with her. 6:45 - At the vet, she had hives all over and was throwing up again. They gave her a couple shots- benadryl and a steroid. They said the swelling would go down soon and gave me some benadryl capsules for her. 7:10 - Got home and explained the situation to DH. 7:15 - Anne Marie (I think it was her) came by with the flyers. Spoke via Jen's cell phone with Michael at the same time. 7:20 - Left for Woodstock 7:45 - Met up with Jen and went flyering. 10:00 - Home. Penny is still a little swollen but seems "herself" once again. Gave her more benadryl. What a day for Penny and for me!

Guest poopsie1 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 It was actually Amber who gave you the flyers. Poor little Penny. I hope she's doing better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny is better, but the swelling hasn't gone down completely. I have a call in to the vet to see what to do. Her face looks wide, like a pit bull's!

Guest HersheysMom Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Poor Penny! I'm so glad she's better. When you find out what drug it was if you wouldn't mind letting me know - I know you weren't sure at the time, and I am curious. Hugs to your sweet girl.

Guest KRKWMU Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm so sorry she had a bad reaction like that! I read on Circle of Grey or LymphomaHeartDogs that she's had that chemo drug before...is that right??? It's odd that she would have a reaction now. Let us know what the doctors at Tufts think about it. Glad to hear that Penny is doing better. She has enough to deal with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
