Dog got into some trouble....
Came home from work at 10:30 last week and my pit-mix dog is waiting by the front gate as usually. Get off the truck to open the gate and it looks like she has a ball in her mouth, as she often does. Get closer and realize it's not a ball, her mouth is swollen, it was HUGE! I start to check her out and there's nothing I can see wrong with her. Get her in the house and take a closer look, still nothing, but now I notice that her ears are puffy and her paws are swollen too. Checked her throat and tongue and that looked ok, she was drinking and eating fine and didn't apear to act "sick". Next morning swelling was going down but now she was getting a rash on her belly. So I loaded her up on the truck and went to the vet. Got a hydocortisol shot and all is well. This was obviously an alergic reaction to something she ate or maybe some insect that stung her. Anyone else have this happen to your dogs?

Who know's, I left at 2:00 pm and when I got back at 10:30 she was swollen up like a melon! There were some wasp nests a while back but I sprayed them and haven't seen any around in quite a while. Oh yea, I forgot to mention that some mushrooms sprouted out, so maybe see ate some magic shrooms and was sky high! Pulled them all out, just in case that was it.
