|
|
Came in from school today to see Jack's face from his nose to his eye covered in swollen , bleeding red lumps. Took him straight to the vet. He was at the glen last night and it appears he has been stung or scratched by something and it is infected. He got an injection and tablets to start tomorrow. There's always something! |

oh poor Jack! That sounds uncomfortable too
Hope the injection gets to work quickly and takes the swelling down a bit.
Is he scratching it? |

Yes Marcella he is rubbing his face along the floor which makes it bleed more. I have put him in his crate just now to stop him doing this. I don't know Janis. It could also be nettle stings the vet said. |

aawww, that must be so uncomfortable and frustrating for him. Hopefully the injection might take out the 'itch' and give him a bit of peace! |

Allison the tablets they gave you are they an anti histamine. If not you could phone the vet and say he is scratching mad can he get one. I dont know if they have anti histamine for dogs. its worth a try. i feel so sorry for him. wee sole. |
