While trying to doze off last night, Karen and I began to notice Little Bit (our Belizean Chihuahua mix) acting strangely, and scratching a lot. She was just about getting frantic; couldn't keep still and scratch, scratch, scratch. Finally Karen had a better look and saw a puppy with hives... swollen face and all! Pretty strange (and funny) looking. Don't have a clue what she had an allergic reaction to, but 5 or 6 mg of Benadryl and a little bit of Prednisone (steroid) quieted things down very quickly. About 30 minutes after the Benadryl... you could hear the "contentments" and "thank you Mommies" coming from that little dog! The pics are the "morning after" since I didn't screw my head on to get shots during the acute phase at midnight last night! Notice the "jowls" that are definitely not a normal part of her anatomy!

Awwww whata sweet sweet little dog :)
Thank you for the comment on my Belize photo. You may use it. I have a few more of our walk through the city of so-so quality that I scanned. I will try and fix them up a bit and post them.
I liked Belize. A friend had gone a medical mission back in the late 1980's so I decided to do a week vacation there in 92 or 93 (gee getting old here ;)
