Bullet May 26

Bullet

Bullet has some swelling (pitting edema) on his neck/throat. It started a few days ago. They shaved the area when I first took him to the vet the other day so I could keep a better watch on it. If it was a bee sting (Bullet always chases bees – silly boy!) it would have been gone by now. Doc isn’t sure what it is but says not thyroid or glands so thinks it might be a spider bite. White blood cell count is up a bit so he gave Bullet antibiotic & shots today and some antibiotic pills to start tomorrow. Poor baby isn’t eating much at all (I think it hurts to swallow) and is a bit dehydrated.
