The day before Maude was spayed last week, I noticed a small lump on her side. The hair was missing a little and I could see two holes, which if I squeezed, blood would come out. When I took her in to be spayed, I told the Vet to check it out while she was asleep. It turned out to be a spider bite! He had shaved the area, and I am putting recommended antibiotic cream on twice a day. So glad I saw it! It actually looks like fang marks! As for ticks, I am out in the fields alot,as I've always had horses,cows donks, etc. and have had alot more ticks than my dogs get. After I get the tick off, the area turns red, and itchy and it usually swells, and it takes weeks before it goes away. I, after many years have discovered, I get more ticks after being under trees(wooded area) than I do off the grass. I think they wait to dive on ya' ha!hA! So glad that your baby will be okay-we are with you!
