The owner had also noted that the dog had hives and was not eating well. The dog was bathed and given benadryl on Aug 6 and was examined on Aug 7. On exam the dog was normal on exam but was placed on IV fluids and given dexamethasone and kept for observation for the day. The dog was sent home Aug 7 and had eaten well in hospital.
