Last time we had SD5 was last Monday night. She seemed fine, but she told us that BM thinks she is allergic to their pet rat because she keeps getting puffy eyes when she wakes up. I asked her if she has been crying at night before sleep becuase I know sometimes that makes your eyes puffy the next day, and she said no, so we just kind of let it go.

Yesterday when my fiance dropped off his son, SS3 at BM's house, he saw SD5's eye. It was all puffy and almost swollen shut. BM said it's been like that all week. DF asked her why she hasn't taken her to a doctor yet and BM claimed it'll be fine...

So apparently SD5 woke up this morning and could barely open BOTH eyes, they were swollen almost shut. Poor thing! BM took SD5 to the ER this morning...why she waits an entire week and ends up in the ER? Who knows?

Anyway, would she really suddenly have an allergic reaction to a pet they've had for 2 months? We have a dog and we did at one time in the past year have 2 cats, plus she is around horses and other farm animals at DF's parent's house...so I'm not thinking she'd be allergic to a rat, right?
