go for 48 hrs two tabs three times a day for 2 days....i went thru this with wilson who has horrible allerigies...a spider bite him and the same thing happened....the vet said to keep with the bendryl for 2 days...wilson is 53lbs if that helps...
also since you know your baby has that bad of an allergy reaction keep liquid bendryl on hand it will get thru the system faster....
i now have a eppi pen....as all my er vets are 45 mins from me....
good luck keep us posted....

Thanks Tammy,

She's breathing just fine. She ate well and is drinking. She's not rubbing her face any longer but still swollen. My thinking is they (vet) can do nothing more for her other than what's already be done.

It sounds like a severe allergic reaction to something. Due to the fact it is swelling to that extent, I would be heading back to the vet. In a reaction that severe it could cause breathing problems or even cause the dog to go into shock.

Good luck,
Let us know what happens.

more steroids and they can also use injectable benadryl which works better and faster than the pill form. You may not find the bite wound for a few days when it scabs and the swelling subsides. My only concern is that swelling can quickly go from ok to a breathing issue and without notice.

i dont think its a lyme reaction....i have never seen that drastic of a reaction from a tick.. could it happen i wouldnt doubt it....more likely a spider or some thing she ate....wilson has been bitten by ticks and never had that happen....so i would go for a spider...food..ant...some thing like that....bees cause me the biggest problem...

She may need another shot of steroids. I lost a bulldog last year to a sting so I take them all very seriously.

and it was really terrible.
she continually swelled off and on for the next few days .
now in hers it was a reaction to the rabies vaccine.
we used clorotripilon for sure and it worked out good
she had a very bad reaction where the vet was not close at all on holidays
and it would have been really bad ....called the vet and he said to give
her clorotripilon as well.

I personally would take her back in if the swelling keeps up.
best safe then sorry


both times in my boston her breathing was affected....

keep a close watch on your dog and if no improvements soon, call the vet and take her in.

Thanks,

Emma hppends to be 52 pounds. I will stay on top of the situation with the benedryl. I have to ask this. We found a few ticks on hr this morning prior to going to the ER. Is it possible that the ticks caused this reaction?
