Cully Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Just got back from the evet with Biggy. I got home from work at 5:30 and went to get ready to feed the "kids". I looked at Biggy and the underside of his jaw and his tongue looked swollen. I opened his mouth and looked inside his throat was alright and then called the Vet. She was at another call but, told me to give Biggy some Benadryl and she would call me on her way to the office. She called back and we headed up. She thinks that he got bitten by a bug. The thing that we both thought was strange was that it was the underside of his tongue that was swollen and not the top. She gave him a mild sedation show she could look under the tongue. We ended up giving him a shot of Dexasone and told me to just keep an eye on him.

Guest peacehound Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 It must be the week for insect bites. Peace was stung by a bee, wasn't too concerned, it has happened before. I put ice on the spot and gave her some benadryl. 15 minutes later she broke out in hives all over and her breathing was effected..it was the longest ride to the vet ever~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
