Minne Monday Part 2

After I ran away, I was punished by some sort of allergic reaction. Not sure what did it, maybe my medicine or perhaps the bug I was playing with in my mouth bit me? Not really sure. But I do know one thing, I was super glad I was at home and not wondering the streets. Without mom and dad I am not sure what I would have done.

As you can see, my entire face started swelling. I started wheezing and mom and dad took me to the animal hospital. Once we got there, they gave me shots and I had to sit there to make sure the swelling went down. They say most dogs react within 30 minutes, it took me almost 2 hours. We had to wait in the lobby, I was miserable, I didn't even want to get up to beg for a treat or smell the other smells.

Mom and dad sat with me all night. And the best part? I got to sleep in the bed again (after the previous night fiasco, I was punished to sleeping in my own bed). #winning

Sick Puppy

Monday night the hubs came home to a wheezing puppy who was terrified of jumping up onto the bed. She was hardly walking and she still hadn't eaten her breakfast (which is very uncharacteristic of Bostons). It was terrible and scary. We tried to get her to jump on the sofa and she couldn't.

We know it's common for older Boston Terriers to have lower back and back leg problems but we didn't expect something to happen to our young pup who is only 3 years old.

The hubs took her to the vet and I met them there. The vet said it didn't feel like anything was broken or that out of place so we would wait on taking x-rays for the time being. He suggested (and we're hoping) that it's just a pinched nerve. She's now on a new medicine (her medicine cabinet is more full than the hubs and I combined) and we're hoping that she is back to her self by the weekend. If not, you better believe that we will be at the vets office the moment they open.

Along with a new medication, the vet suggested restricting her activity level. We thought this was going to be very difficult but as of this morning, poor Minne is acting as if she's restricting herself. Here's to hoping her body continues to heal itself so she can stand like this and smile again:
