Swelling Gone in Left Hind??
3/1/2012 9:03:28 AM

In January Maxx had to take antibiotics for his cough. He was also put on an antihistamine which he thought was TERRIBLE and would not eat for awhile. We have noticed a wonderful - or coincidental - side effect from his taking the medicine. His left hind leg is normal size without the swelling from the rattlesnake bite. Ellen or I have been wrapping his leg everyday since July 2005 so to not do so is amazing!!!
Summer heat has always made the swelling worse. It is too early to be elated so we will watch and measure his progress during the heat. The Lymphatic system was damaged by the venom which causes swelling. People who are bitten often have the same problem.
The vet is watching. We aren't sure why this is happening, but the good is that Maxx must feel better, too.
