Leroy had a bad day

Leroy had another round of shots on Friday morning at the vet. As usual, he was excited to go to the vet because all the girls there love him and he never misses an opportunity to say hi to people.

All went well at the vet so Sarah and Leroy went back home. However, a couple hours after they got home, Leroy developed an allergic reaction to his leptospirosis shot and his head started to swell up! And I don't mean it got a little inflated looking; poor Leroy looked like a bobble head doll! His neck also started to swell to the point he was having a hard time breathing, so Sarah quickly tossed him in the car and back to the vet they went!

Adding insult to injury, Sarah got pulled over on the way there. Not for speeding, but because she didn't have a front license plate on her car (my bad!). Luckily, the officer saw Leroy's giant head and let her off with a quick warning

Once at the vet, they shot Leroy full of steroids and Benadryl. The swelling stopped soon thereafter.

Leroy is doing much better now after a few days of rest and relaxation.

Not a happy puppy:
