Papillon Kisses Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) We're seeing the vet tomorrow night anyway as Malcolm is due for his Addison's injection, but does anyone have any idea what is going on here? It's worsened over the course of the day (looks more red and raw). Photos are five hours apart. Edited July 3, 2017 by Papillon Kisses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 It looks like an abrasion - have you seen him rubbing or scratching it? I can't see any swelling or I might have said an allergic reaction to an insect bite or something. I would keep it clean until the vet visit and keep an eye on him.

Papillon Kisses Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thanks Rural Pug. He doesn't seem to be rubbing or scratching his snout, but he has been licking his legs a lot lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Kisses Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Acute allergic reaction! He's been bitten by an ant or a spider or something. He has Neocort cream which he's not impressed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets very annoyed by insects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! That looks nasty. I must say that I'm thankful we are less likely to see snakes where we live because Malcolm would assuredly attack them. My childhood home backs onto bushland, and one day my Dad was shouting at Mal and I heard him rush outside making a screen door fly off its tracks in the process and I freaked out thinking that Malcolm must have been attacking a snake. Nope, he had been sprung four paws on a big coffee table and had taken off with an entire wheel of peppercorn cheese. :laugh: Edited October 31, 2016 by Papillon Kisses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taliecat Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Ahh neocort, that stuff is pretty much known as magic staffy cream among staffy owners! Keep it handy for summer it's great on human's itchy bites too.. I may speak from experience lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
