poor molly!

Albert and I came home from a family gathering to find half of Molly's face swollen. Whilst trying not to panic, we looked up the severity/possible cause of Molly's reaction, as well as locating a 24-hour pet clinic at 10:30PM in Shanghai. Needless to say, we were hoping for lady luck to be on our side. After noting that her reaction needed immediate care from a professional, we were thankful that out of the tiny selection of listings available for 24-hour care, we were able to speak to a someone on the other line who said that he could take her in right away.

30 minutes later via cab from Xujiahui to Minhang District, we arrived to Doctors Beck and Stone's Emergency Clinic. Dr. Xiao, the gentleman who greeted me on the phone, along with a nurse who was also present on hand, were collected, competent, professional, and treated Molly on the spot. It turned out that Molly likely had an allergic reaction to one of her chew bones. After getting her blood drawn, a shot, and 900RMB later, Molly was already looking much better and ready to go home. Although 900RMB is on the pricier side, it was emergency care. And, for us to find such professionals at our hour of need and in a clean, comfortable facility, it was well worth it.

 
Before (lots of swelling on her left side)

I would definitely recommend Doctors Beck and Stone for anyone who needs pet care. They also have English speaking staff available, as well as numerous other services and treatments for your pets' every need.

After (still a little swollen, but much better)


Now to follow Dr. Xiao's regime for home care! Molly will hopefully be back to 100% soon.
