Rushed to the emergency vet!
What a horrible stressful day today. Riggs had to be rushed to the emergency vet tonight. Earlier today was Riggs' yearly shots. So we took him to his regular vet and dropped him off. Unfortunately, we think our vet got a little behind and did not give him his shots till close to the end of the day. We came to pick him up right as they were closing. We were heading back to the car and could tell there was definitely something wrong with him. Riggs started to throw up, his tongue got really pale and he was rubbing his face hardcore. We could tell his muzzle and snout was all swollen. Riggs was having a severe allergic reaction to his shots. The vet was closed and told us we needed to take him to an afterhours facility (what the hell!). We rushed over there, the poor guy was itching so bad and you could tell he was really nauseous. The emergency vet gave Riggs a shot of a strong concentration of Benadryl and a steroid shot. After about 30 mins, he looked much better. Poor guy was wiped out and slept the whole rest of the night.
