{Lily's Rough Week}

We thought we could make it through March without an emergency vet visit, that didn't happen...One week left and Lily had a mysterious allergic reaction which made her face swell up, and she got hives ALL over her body. She looked like a bumpy toad. I was too worried and in a hurry to get to the vet to take any pics of it sadly. She started breathing really loudly so I rushed her to the vet and they took her back and gave her a bunch of shots and watched her for a while. The swelling started going down really fast after that and she felt a little better. And as seen in the pics below she just went into her first heat. She's not liking the diaper or being alone in a kennel without her Tux. Last night she cried and barked from 3-8am. Its driving me insane! To top it off this morning just after breakfast her face started ballooning up again. Her breathing was fine so we decided not to go to the vet again and just gave her some benadryl which helped alot. Im yet to find what she's allergic to, the vet says she rolled in something outside or got stung or bitten by a bug. There is nothing but grass in our yard so i don't know what happened, but hopefully it won't happen again!!!
Pic taken after leaving the vet--Her face was twice this size before!
