Trial last weekend went ok. Duke hunted like a champ and is getting better every week. Didnt place and still dont know why, but that was the least of my concerns...
Saturday night, Duke got really sick. I took him out of his kennel and his face was so swollen up that he could barely see out of his eyes and was having a hard time breathing. I tried to call numerous vets with no response at 830 at night. I ran across town as fast as possible (through 2 DUI checkpoints) to pickup some benadryl. With my luck, Safeway was packed and only 1 line open to checkout. Not a good site...
I called the trial secretary and she said there was a vet on the trial grounds. I spoke with Tom and he said to bring him back to the grounds and he could treat him right there. He also said to give him some benadryl, but I couldnt get it down his throat and was not going to fight him either. After an hour drive (which seemed like forever), Dr. Pescod saved my dogs life. He said that Duke injested something that gave him a bad allergic reaction. Gave him an IV of steroids and watched him for the rest of the night. Also said that its pretty common, but scary nonetheless.
