Gus runs in a 100 x 200 fenced in back yard when not in training or in his crate. We live inside the city limits but have 356 ac behind our house and 400 ac in front. We only have a couple of new homes on both sides. Our back yard is full of oak trees and bare ground with some thin tall grass and a ditch; the yard grass is closer to the house.
I called Gus in for his evening meal and discovered he had been bitten on the side of the face. Eye was swollen and his ear was big time puffed and tender. He didn't act bad; eat supper like a tropper and drank plenty of water. Afterward he played with his rubber duck on the floor in front of the TV; apparently ok.
I took him to the VET first light this morning. He gave him benadryl and charged me 10 cents for the pill. Said he looked find and anything could have got him; snake, wasp, stinging scorpion, and/or a bee. He certainly could not tell for sure.
My vet hunts so he told me next time I was in the field carry some Benadryl pills along just in case he gets nailed again. Frankly, I'd never heard of that treatment.
Gus was also due for his third set of shots today so we got that done too.
Just thought I'd share.
