Poor Poppy had a little mishap this morning.
i took them out on the field for their morning walk & poppy came running out of some long gras and flopping on the floor crying, i got her straight home and checked her over and couldnt find a sting or red mark any where.
thank god i decided to not go into work straight away - as i usually do, as she was very restless i sat and had a brew and kept my eye on her. for about 20 minutes she would lie still as though wanting sleep and then wake crying - she was uncomfortable & just not herself.
with in half an hour her lips went red & swelled as did her eyes. she then started to vomit quite badly, as the vets were still closed i drove her directly there and luckily they were opening as i got there.
they said that poppy had had an alergic reaction to something, possibly a sting or a bite. gave her some steroid, anti biotic & anti vomiting injections and she is now recovering.
what shocked me was that how long it took for her to become ill - i know half an hour isnt really long, but it was only the restlesnes that made me wait at home with her.
