Shocking😱

Breathing a sigh of relief....after having suffered ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK, and surviving, praise GOD, our Ms. Beatrice is out of the hospital. Her left hind leg is now having an inflammatory reaction to the bug bite/bee sting that started the whole thing. Her paw is 3x its size!!!! Had it been a BIGGER dog, it wouldn't have been so severe. We are so thankful for all your heartfelt prayers!! If we hadn't run with her as quickly as we did, she would have died. 😥
Most people don't know the gravity of this condition...you must seek immediate help from a vet before it turns fatal.
Here's a quick rundown of its effects:

Anaphylaxis is a rare, life-threatening, immediate allergic reaction to something ingested or injected. If untreated, it results in shock, respiratory and cardiac failure, and death.

What are the symptoms of anaphylaxis?
The most common symptoms are the sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures, coma, and death. The animal's gums will be very pale, and the limbs will feel cold. The heart rate is generally very fast, but the pulse is weak. There can be facial swelling.
How is anaphylaxis treated?
Anaphylaxis is an extreme emergency. If you think your dog is having an anaphylactic reaction, seek emergency veterinary assistance immediately. Epinephrine should be given as soon as possible -
