This poor, poor girl has such terrible reactions to any bug bites. We have been to the pediatrician a number of times because of excessive swelling due to bites (most of them mosquito). She literally can't even go from the house to the car during the summer without being bit. Believe me, we apply bug repellant often but any biting bug must think she smells/tastes great because she is their first and usually only target. She has a couple on ber back that are whelts the size of a half dollar. Thanks Brenda for the Benadryl advice! It didn't improve the swelling but I hope it improved the itch. Tomorrow I'm going to stock up on repellent and put them in several places in and around our house so it's always handy. I really don't want her to only be able to see out of one eye again. Darrin says it looks like she went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson!

OH NO! I can't believe how much she swells up! Hopefully this is something she will out grow?
The poor little sweetheart! Hope the swelling goes down soon...
I have a similar picture of Sadie with one eye swollen shut from a mosquito bite. Breaks your heart. Thankfully, the bug bites don't seem to bother her as much as they used to. She still reacts, but the swelling isn't as severe anymore, so hopefully there is hope for Annabelle!
oh my gosh!!! Poor annabelle! I am the same way..mosquitos love me and I do tend to swell quite a bit, more so when I was younger..I feel for her..poor girl!
You're right, her eye looks a lot better today!
Oh no! So sad! :( Hope the reactions lessen in severity over time...
my step-mom sent me an e-mail about Listerine being a good bug repellent. google it... maybe it will be helpful for poor Annie! That poor little sweetie.
