We had a traumatic experience with our beloved 12 year old JRT at 11.30pm Boxing Day night. Her face rapidly became swollen, her skin was a reddish purple colour etc. she was in a really bad way! In a panic, I called this vet and was greeted with a calm and reassuring receptionist who relayed my information to the vet, the vet quickly put my mind at ease and advised me that our dog’s symptoms sounded like the result of a bite or sting and to give her an antihistamine. Finally after about 20 minutes, she was finally able to settle and the swelling went down considerably. We were lucky that our issue was a simple and quick fix, but without this knowledge, things could have been very different. Thank you so much to the staff who swiftly guided us. We cannot thank you enough. (Pictures were taken before the antihistamine tablet was administered).
Delighted that our girl has spent today resting and is looking almost fully back to normal
