Other than the swelling, she checked out OK (heart, breathing, no swelling in her throat, etc).

After a shot of benedryl and an IV of steroids, the swelling went gradually went down. $200 later.....

The final indignity: the vet looked at her and said, "she's FAT." I tried to tell her that Margot was just fluffy and big boned, but the vet wasn't buying it! She's just about 8.5 months old and has to go off puppy food. My poor pork chop.

Glad to hear she is ok. My poor Fergus got told he was a little fat last time we visited the vet. Since then he has lost about 2 kilos. The vet was pleased but Fergus still looks a little sad when he sees the smaller amounts in his bowl at dinner.
