Henry here with a guest post about my first emergency vet visit.
I am a rescue. They don’t know much about me but my dog Mom was rescued too and she definitely had a lot of Boxer in her.
Human Mom learned that Boxers had a lot of eye issues and when she got home tonite and saw my eye like this she freaked out, threw me in the car and took me to the Emergency Vet! I mean really threw me in the car!!!
Turns out no scratch on my eye, looks like a bug bite, likely a stupid wasp which Monty has taught me to chase and try to eat.
I was sweet until I got suspicious and then was a real stinker and would not let them fit me for something called the cone of shame…
They gave up and gave me a large cone of shame and wished my human Mom good luck with getting it on me 😈.
Roscoe and Monty are excited because the emergency vet prescribed Benadryl for the swelling and they think it’ll make me sleep and pester them less.
The real reason I went to the emergency vet was because I heard human Mom say it was time for me to get something called neutered which sounds horrible. Roscoe and Monty actually have been extra tolerant of me because of neutering in my future. Now Mom says I used my neutering money for an emergency and neutering will be postponed until next month which is my birthday month…. Happy birthday to me?

Poor Henry. That must have hurt. I hate wasps.
We’re having a lot of rain so maybe it’ll wash the wasps away
What an adventure!
Thank goodness you are ok, and yes, “Happy Birthday to YOU” because neutering is EXTREMELY important!

Glad you’re back home. We ducks don’t know about vets. Rubber ducks don’t have neutering either. But Henry, stay away from wasps.
Sooo cute! Hope you feel better sweet puppy!!
Thank you My eye is back to normal!
