The event that happened this morning seemed like a dream and is all a blur to me. Aub woke up to get her hair done while I slept in with Diesel. I awoke and took him out for his morning relief. Once we were home, I noticed a bunch of bumps on his lower back. As the minutes passed the bumps seemed to be getting bigger and multiplying. I gave him a bath, which he loves, and waited to see if the bumps went away. I thought maybe he rubbed up against something and had an allergic reaction. Wrong. Ok so now the bumps were now bigger than silver dollar coins. I'm freaking out.........yep freaking out. So Aub and I decide to call this new vet we took Diesel to when he did his first stud service. The doctor specializes in English Bulldogs and for some reason we really took to him. Our regular vet was currently in a session of church (he's the bishop in Aub's parents ward). So I'm driving 90 miles an hour to he vet while Aub keeps him calm in the backseat of the car. When we got there, we filled out the necessary paper work and waited in the little room. The vet came in he immediately asked how we were doing. Aubrey answered with a positive, "Fine", then he looked at me and said, "I know you're done doing alright..." It was obvious I was a wreck. The vet took Diesel back and gave him 2 sets of shots one of them being benadryl. As we were thinking back the last 24 hours we remembered him swallowing a foreign object which we couldn't get from his jaws. The vet started naming off the usual suspects, one of them being spiders and we knew that is what he swallowed.
Well I'm happy to report that Diesel and the rest of us are doing fine.

That's way scary. I'm glad things worked out, though, and that Diesel is feeling better. Did the vet say he's allergic to spiders or is it pretty normal for bumps like that to appear if a dog swallows a spider? I'm just wondering because I'll have to watch Sams and Tod a little better because we often have spiders in our basement.
Some dogs it will only bump up where the actual bite is, but for English Bulldogs, Boxers, any dog with wrinkly faces it tends to hit them more with bumps all over their body. He said it's their immune system going out of whack. But ya spiders in general are just bad whether if they bite or if they are swallowed it's a no go. I'm vacuuming every day now ha ha
This is scary. You need to spray your house... I worry.
all that, and you still were sweet to come over to mom and dad's and visit with us!
what a doll!
