Coffee anyone ?

Just rushed Sophie dog to vet with severe anaphylaxis. She went crazy in the car as her tongue swelled. Got her there just in time. Checked flock and other dogs. All ok. I’ve been better, a scratched up mess. No room in car for crate and I didn’t want her to gator roll on a tie down. She mashed every button on the dash and I get Sirius XM now . Don’t know what got her but she went from ok to nearly dead in 15 minutes. Lambster missed his appointment but is nursing better. Gonna go sit in my chair and contemplate. Then clean the inside of my car.

2X that.

On way home I saw a new neighbor - 6 months ago- and stopped in her driveway to tell her how happy I was to see someone being SS...garden. laying hens. Meat chickens. Even bunnies so I find out! We had met very briefly when they had bought. During our talk, she says they had teamed with neighbor over across street...to butcher their chickens, with his. He has a plucker!! . I said I'd love to join that group! . She wants to checkout the goat milk. I'm happy to find some youngins to hang with! . We might get some community sharing after all. Oh, she's just thinking of canning! I'm on it!! What a great day.

WOW! @Blue Sky any idea what caused that? Good thing you got her to the vet in time! And now you have SiriusXM! What a smart dog! Even in her sickest moment, she was thinking all about her Mommy and wanted nice music for you to listen to. What a thoughtful dog!

@Mini Horses sounds like you are getting the neighborhood that we all wish for! Lucky you!

I have no idea what happened to Sophie or where. She and Hubbs and Leo were taking their daily noon walk to check on the flock and LGDs. He didn’t see anything but didn’t watch her every minute. They just walked the mile fence circuit, no incidents she came in 5 minutes later very muddy, stung or bitten at that point. Then off to the vet double quick. I will check a couple of places for bees

Sophie is home but not in good shape
Tongue is still enormous and she periodically panics. The thinking was put her in a familiar environment rather than house her overnight at the vet’s office with no supervision. Thinking maybe a snakebite. Would post pics but they’re pretty awful.

Feel free to post them on my journal if you want. It may help someone else recognize the symptoms quickly and save a life.

I was thinking maybe yellowjackets stung her. But those probably would have stung your husband too.

What did the vet guess?

What did the vet guess?

Snake bite on tongue. Tongue swelling won’t let her close her mouth and is blocking airway. Steroid and anti inflammatory treatments. Now a waiting game. She panics and bites and claws at her tongue and mouth. So I’m keeping her quiet. Swelling is down a little. Vet hydrated her with IV because she can’t drink. See @Baymule’s Journal. She let me post pics there.
