oh poor sparkles! hope it's just a reaction and the vet can get it under control soon. keep us posted!
@catorres8988 sent me a message on facebook, I assume she could not post on the forums because she is on her mobile device.
Here is what she said:
Couldn't make post on forum but please let everyone know...

OMG I am praying for her! If it just suddenly came on it sounds like she was bite was something. Samson face swelled up like crazy a few years from what the vet said was probably a spider bite. But the rest of his body was not affected so I don't know. Poor Sparkles![]()

Keeping Sparkles in my thoughts and prayers...
I just hope she gets there in time! It sounds like an allergic reaction, but yet it could be a bite from something. I am a nervous wreck, I hope she is okay.....
Have we heard anything yet? I hope that little girl is okay...and her mama too! Let us know ASAP.
I hope Sparkles is alright. It does sound like a reaction to something...I will be waiting to hear!
Always with me
She is okay. Vet gave her some benedryl and a steriod shot, and she is to give her a bath when she gets home. He said it was an allergic reaction to something but they don't know what. I am sure she will give us an update when she gets home.
whew, good news. Except it would be great to hear they soon know what caused it. I know it is scary and stressful when something like this happens.
Always with me
Thanks for the update, I'm new but was kind of freaked out. I'm glad to hear it's going better than before. Hopefully they can figure out what happened soon.

It's amazing how quickly you become attached to our little avatars and the people behind them. Thanks for joining us. I'm sure Sparkles will absolutely be tickled that you were thinking of her. And I'm willing to bet that she won't hold the "newbie" thing against you.
Whew, I'm glad everyone is okay. Linus was stung by a bee once and had a similar reaction - with lumps and swelling all over him - it was frightening! Hopefully they will be able to identify the source of the reaction if they find a bite mark or something of that nature.
