I took Francie to the Vet yesterday for her routine exam before CCI's turn in. She was due her basic shots - Rabies booster, DHLPP and Bordetella. The only problem was, she had a high temperature (above 104) when 101-103 is normal range. So the Vet was not comfortable giving her her scheduled vaccines.
So now we wait and take her back next week for her shots and in the mean time watch her closely. Well her temp is down today- it came down a bit last night and even more this morning (such good news) but her eyes this morning were so very red and she still seemed "not herself" and run down.
We wondered if she possibly got a bug bite as she does not tolerate bites well and past times they have proven really hazardous to her. Here is a photo from last spring in AZ when she got stung or bit.
So we gave her a Benadryl today for her eyes and will have her rest and not chase her ball.
She doesn't look near this bad today as these pictures show from last spring, but her eyes are quite red and she keeps squinting.
Poor baby. When she hurts, I hurt.
Isn't this always true for any of our fur kids?
Get well sweet one.

We are the same way. We are not happy until they are happy, and we go out of our way to make them so.
We had a Great Dane years ago that swelled like that when she got to close to evergreen trees. We kept a supply of benedryl on hand for her - what a difference it makes!
