Today, however, we got another little jolt with Jaydan. We stopped by the Becks to drop something off. Buddy was being friendly and ended up giving J a couple little licky kisses. I thought it would be ok as long as we got a good hand washing in after. Boy was I wrong. We only stayed 20 minutes or so. We left Trilogy and by the time we hit Novelty Hill J was red, swelling, itchy and getting welts around his eyes and all over his face. Not good. I raced to my parents and got him undressed and in the tub. He got a dose of Zyrtec. He got scrubbed down really good. All started going away within a half hour of getting out of the bath but I was sure freaked.
I talked to the allergist and apparently I did everything right except he should have gotten Benedryl instead because it acts faster. Next time he has contact with dogs (or to any of his allergens) could be the same, nothing at all, or could put him in respiratory distress. Terrifying.
In the end all is well but I'm sure gonna be keeping my eye on this little guy.
