We had to run Jet to the vet last night.
He came in completely covered in welts.
So many they were running together.
I quickly cut apart 20 benedryl tablets mixed a paste with molasses and smeared it under his tongue.
I ran to the house for my phone to call Dr. Matt and running back to the barn saw that Jet had gone down.
Pilot couldn't get him up and Jet's breathing was labored.
I threw everything in the truck opened the trailer and grabbed a whip.
Got Jet up and loaded and off we went.
Talked to Dr. Matt en route.
Got to the clinic and Jet's welts had already started to recede.
Dr.Matt had a traech ready but it only took a big steroid shot.
Good grief!
Histamine powder for 3 days.
Dr. Matt gave me a steroid shot to have on hand for the next allergy emergency.
A long night but Jet was much improved welt-wise by 3am and fine by 6 am.
Today is Sarcee's birthday.
And she still needs her tooth x-rayed.
Maybe next week.
Rain and thunderstorms headed our way.
I need to go out and batten down the hatches.
Have a great night everyone.
