Rough Week for Stells Bells

This week was a rather rough week for little miss Stella.
Tuesday I woke up  to her looking like this....
I just figured that she got bit by something and that the swelling would go down as the day went on. I gave her some Benadryl in hopes that the swelling on her poor little face would go down quickly.
But... as the day went on she only got worse and worse :(

The poor girl's whole face was swollen and burning up like she had a fever. She had huge welts all over her body. She was so miserable with scratching till she bleed and throwing up her breakfast.
I took her up to her vet in Park City, where her grandma Cori works so usually she doesn't mind it AS much but that day she hated it! She was always looking for an escape.
She was a great girl tho, and let them give her a cortisone shot (in exchange for a treat of course). They said she must have had an allergic reaction to a bug bite or bee sting as well has hives all over.
Although the medicine made her sick for a few days, her swelling went down rapidly and she is all back to normal.
What a great sport Stells!!
