In between the appointment with Dr. Carr and the biopsy, I had time to stop by the house with my puppy. Mom and I played with him and noticed how he was squirming on the floor and scratching his ears. I thought it was because his ears were aggravated by the vet cleaning them. Wrong. I checked on him again a few minutes later and his eyes were almost swollen shut, and both his ears and lips were swollen. I called the vet and was told to bring him in right away. Oh great. I was just about to leave for the hospital. I packed up the dog and sent Mom to the vets (not knowing where in the world she has to go) and off I went for the biopsy. All throughout the appointment, I was worried about Hershey. Poor little guy.
First I had a chest x-ray, then was off to the ultrasound department where I also had a biopsy. It's kind of like getting your ears pierced but not as fun. When that was over, I drove to the lab for some blood work.
I phoned Mom and Hershey was fine. He had a reaction to the vaccine and after being given an antihistamine was OK to go home.
Whew. That was the end of a very long day.
