Could have been a wasp sting or spider bite that brought on the Anaphylaxis (ellergic reaction). You can purchase an "Epipen" epinephrine auto injector for emergency use from a pharmacy or keep on hand "benedryl" tabs for temporary relieve enroute to the vetinarian. For easier and quicker effectiveness of benedryl insert two tabs rectally.

Wednesday night I came home from work all three boxers were fine. I put them out, brought them in, i was running a little late so I fed them, usually we walk first. I sat on the couch for a bit reading. Gemini was laying at my feet as usual. She jumped up,ran upstairs and right back down. Not at all normal for. A little later I got up to get some tea. She got up to follow me also as usual. I looked at her and her eyes were both swollen shut. She couldn't even see. I called my daughter to come and drive us to the emergency vet and asked her to bring my grandsons saline for his contacts. I called the vet and asked what I could do until I could get her there. By the time my daughter got here Gemini's face looked like a basketball and was just as hard. Poor thing. She was beginning to breath funny through her mouth. I figured it was an allergic reaction to something. Vet took her right in. They gave her IV Benadryl and steroids. After a while her face started to go down and I took her home. Vet said when she came in she looked like an elephant seal, and he was right. He said to keep giving her the benadyl 3 at a time for at least a day every 8 hours. She looks fine now. But I am worried because I don't know what caused it. Nothing ws different, no new food, no new treats I can't prevent it I don't know what caused itNanaLiterature is my utopia,
