Swollen face
|
|
| that's scary... glad her face is back to normal and the shot worked...
Didn't think spiders could survive in our -30 weather..... |
| I know! that is why we were so surprised. But perhaps she got bit at home and took awhile to take. I burn wood, spiders live in wood piles. Well at least I know now and be prepared. |
| Thank God it was anything serious...
pesky spiders!!!! |
That's scary! Glad she will be okay! Poor baby  |
| poor baby! hope she feels all better now! |
| has anyone heard about spider bites making an anaphylactic reaction? |
| Poor girl, I did see a spider in my house yesterday and thought the same thing, what the heck are they doing moving around in this weather?
Did the swelling go down yet? Re your question.... I think any severe allergic reaction has the potential to cause anaphylacsis? |
| Yah swelling went down. The vet gave her Dexamethazone injection. It was funny because as I watched I got light headed. I can watch myself and people get needles, but watching her get the shot made me weak. haha! |
| Poor Laika! |
| Bless her little heart. I'm glad she's okay! |
I know in people, spider bites can be quite nast and can cause a very large welt or swelling. And I'm not so sure if they can't live in those cold temps...if she got it at day care, I have to assume the temp in there was not -30...I always do wonder how those sneaky spider can get you ( or your dog) without knowing it! 
Glad she is okay... |
| So glad Laika is going to be ok. She is such a beautiful sheepie. |
Poor Laika! I hope she's doing better! 
Nasty spiders can survive indoors even in the coldest climates...we have had the problem here, in Alaska, of non-indigenous spiders (and other nasties) traveling here in fruit and other shipments....ugh!  |
| Hi,
No never heard of it happening on a dog..but yes for humans. I found spiders and other creepy crawlies often come into warm houses during the cold months. On the other hand ..as creepy as they are..I am a big fan of spiders. They are responsible for eating "bad bugs"..but do have a bad rap due to their looks. Just in case Laika has an allergy I'd keep Benadryl tablets on hand should she ever be bitten again. Marianne and the boys >>who send sloppy kisses |
Happy to hear things are ok with your beautiful Laika  |
 to sweet Laika. Glad she is doing better! |
