sandymere 8,261 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hopefully just an an allergic reaction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tb25 4,626 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I was thinking ulcer but it's both sides... Maybe picked up a hedgehog but bit cold last night for them.. Certainly nothing she has ate . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,898 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Wasp? I know it's winter but I've been stung twice in winter, once while bringing logs in from wood store and once drystone walling. Has she been sticking her head in hay or log piles where Queens hibernate? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tb25 4,626 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Last time we was out mooching was last week and I lost her for half hour but apart from that no mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,788 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'd agree with the two comments above re allergic reaction to something like a wasp sting. My last kelpie bitch had it twice and, on one occasion she looked like a Staffy as her head swelled up so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfdog91 6,276 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 My dogs look like that after biting a bee or wasp that decided to buzz too closed seems to go down in a saw or two with no meds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get the queens hibernating in the coal bunker, I often get a surprise with a big dirty black wasp crawling across the living room floor, cat learnt the lesson the hard way lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchers 2,598 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 With you loosen her for half an hour she hasn’t ran through any blackthorn or that has she and got the head of a thorn stuck in there,as I’ve seen this happen to 1 of mine and the same with a wasp sting.Sometimes you can’t seen the thorn until it’s filled with puss and trying to pop out of the skin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
