So we went to a friend's house today. They have a very lovable Boxer named Max. He loves kids and licked Hendrix all over his little face. Suddenly Hendrix started turning red and broke out in hives. Then the swelling started...that's when I started to worry. I called Hendrix's doctor and they said they needed to see him right away. Since I was about 45 minutes away from the doctor, they said I needed to head to Urgent Care because they didn't want me to drive that long and risk Hendrix having breathing problems. We gave him some Benedryl and rushed out. Thankfully by the time we got to Urgent Care, the redness and hives seemed to be subsiding but the swelling was still really bad. By the time the doctor saw him the swelling was also getting better. They gave me a prescription for some steroids for Hendrix for the next week and sent us on our way.
I don't foresee a dog joining our family anytime in the near future.
