Guest BlackandBrindle Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 The other day I noticed a bald spot just above Spud's eye. It's a little smaller than a pencil eraser. It was flat and normal skin toned. Tonight I noticed that it's raised and red/swollen. He has a habit of poking his head into the 'aggressive Arizona plants'... we've been to the vet before for lumps that turns out to be nothing, so I'm not freaking out but just wondering if you have any ideas as to what it is. We'll watch it and if it doesn't go away we'll go to the vet. Here are the pictures (excuse the quality, it's late and I'm tired) Do you think I should put something on it? I have hydrocortosone cream, neosporin, and antibiotic ointment.... or should I just leave it alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 hmmm, I don't know. It looks kind of like places I get when the bouganvilla thorns get me good. I think I'd just watch it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Cody had a swelling like this on his head after a tick bite. Are there any ticks in your area? It could be another type of bug bite too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I've seen maybe two ticks in the time we've had Spud. It's not as angry red this morning and slightly less raised... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Winterwish Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hoping Spud will be fine and that it be a no worries bugbite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
