It has been a rough month for Allison. It all started the last week of May where she was eaten alive by mosquitoes, fleas and had what may have been flea bites all over her face and legs which took a while to go away.
On June 1st she came down with a low grade fever due to an ear infection. We took her to the doctor and we were prescribed amoxicillin. She had been taken it for a week when we noticed a horrible rash starting to appear on her belly, legs, arms and soon face. Back to the doctor again on June 10th and we were told she is allergic to this class of antibiotics. We stopped the meds for the ear infection. Luckily her ear infection was gone but with a compromised immune system.
Over the course of this past weekend (Saturday) a cough started to develop along with a fever that topped at 103º. We were able to keep it down in the 99º range but yesterday her breathing patterns started to change and Daddy noticed she was having difficulties so she was taken back to the doctor on Tuesday. Her oxygen levels were lower than normal so they gave her a breathing treatment which didn’t seem to help much so a chest x-ray was ordered. Thank goodness it didn’t show anything! But we must continue with the nebulizer and keep her well hydrated as she goes through this. My poor sweet girl has had enough!! Hopefully by this weekend we can wash all our sickies away, start fresh and stay healthy. My Goodness!
