It's just been one of those days. Dropped my cell phone in my dogs water bowl this morning and all morning it's been acting crazy (luckily it's fine now b/c I didn't wanna pay a $100 deductible from my insurance to get it fixed)
Then I get home from work around 5:30 let my dogs out and feed them their dinner and as me, my dad, and my brother are sitting down for dinner around 6:30 my brother goes, "What's wrong with Licorice's eye" I look down to see the whole left side of her face swollen so of course I panic!!! Started crying rushing around trying to get my vets number from my phone and their closed so I call the E-vet my dad rushes me out there they look at her gave her an injection for the swelling.
Flashback to about a month ago I took her in for her normal check up they Dr. say he upper back tooth (on the same side of the swelling) is broken, not a big deal at that point but I'd wanted to watch it. She said I would notice swelling around her eyes about where that took is and when I do see that it's time to have the took pulled.
Okay back to this evening. I was hoping upon hope it would only be a sting from some bug. Not my luck of course! The Dr. said that tooth is causing her pain so Licorice is on 2 types of meds (Clavamox and Tramadol) along with her Rimadyl for her joints. I will be calling my vet first thing at 7am tomorrow morning to get her little toosh in for surgery. Luckily the Dr. faxed over everything from tonight and let them know ahead of time what's going on. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed they can get her in tomorrow to get that tooth pulled.
here's a picture I took of her while we were at the vet after they gave her an injection.
Please keep her in your prayers I have to work tomorrow (my boss will give me hell if I'm not there) so my dad's going to take her into the vet. I'll be worrying myself sick tomorrow over her.
Plus this is really cleaning out my bank account!!! My total from tonight Emergency Vet visit was $151.00 plus who knows what tomorrows will cost me, and I have my bills to pay this weekend ugh I'm stressed to the max.
This is from here right now, now that we're home
