It is 2:00 PM here & Lisi is having a delayed reaction to the Rabies shot--reaached her vet about 40 min from me. She said go to ER vet---she isn't in either---she is sending us to pharmacy for cortisone drops as she is now away from the practice. Dwt. went to pick up! Please pray for all of us.

Her eyes started to turn red rims & swell up & she is scratching & thrashing about. My heart is crazy racing. I need to be calm.

Oh dear, prayers for Lisi.

**Madison's Mom** · 11-23-2012, 07:34 AM

Sending prayers, Sandi.

**Furbabies mom** · 11-23-2012, 07:40 AM

Praying for Liesl right now.

**Maglily** · 11-23-2012, 07:50 AM

I hope she's OK soon, how awful.

**edelweiss** · 11-23-2012, 07:54 AM

It is about 30 min. now. DH got the cortisone at the pharmacy & we have administered lst dose---and I sent the attached photo to the vet that gave her the injection this AM (she won't be back in her office until 5:30 & neither will the ER vet). This photo was taken about 10 min. after the cortisone was given. I have no idea about long term effects, etc. so need to try & read up now. She is definitely doing better than before the drops, but doesn't want to be held---she is still thrashing a bit, shaking her head & scratching. The eye rims are still swollen, the eyes seem less squinted, I am not sure how much they have gone down, some for sure. I hope we are out of the woods here.
Edit: thank you for all prayers, please don't stop yet!

Oh Sandi, i know how very worried you were about Lisi getting the rabies vaccine. Prayers going out to Lisi, you and Dwight. I pray that the thrashing stops soon and that the cortisone drops will help.

Oh Sandi that has to be so frightening !! My malt Eerie had that reaction, but it happened sooner. I was in the car coming home from the vets. I turned around and took him back to the office. His skin also was bright pink. From then on they did pre treat him before the rabies shot. I guess they pre treated him with Benadryl?? I'm praying that Liesl gets better now and you too! I know it's hard to be calm when our fluffs are sick or an emergency comes up.
