Scrubs has had an allergic reaction to something. His face is incredibly swollen, and he threw up his breakfast (and the Benadryl we had given him with breakfast.) We are hoping we don't have to take him to the vet. We can't figure out WHAT he has put his face in that has caused his jowls to swell up so much. Even his nose is like twice as big! Today is the last full day that the fam is here. They are leaving tomorrow morning. JB said we really can't leave Scrubs alone as a fear of facial swelling is airway swelling. So we'll hang out around here to make sure he is a-ok.
P.S. No pictures for now. Scrubs is a little embarrassed and doesn't want anyone to see him like this.

Poor Scrubby! Boy I feel for him. We did have to rush our dog to the ER vet at 11 pm at night when ours had this problem. He could have been stung by something as well. Our dog was stung by a scorpion in Hawaii and had his entire body react with his veins swelling. It was like a highway map thru his body. He starting going into shock and was having trouble breathing. Monitor for a couple of hours, after that he should be fine, usually with reactions they will be pretty immediate and start to go down if he isn't near/eaten/or stung again by whatever happened to him.
Ahhh poor Scrubby! Hope he gets better real soon and doesnt need an ER vet trip! N
