Echo - Guide Dog

[jazzmynn]

Could he have gotten into an underground hornet or bees nest? Since you mentioned he had/has additional lumps.....

 

[Beanwood]

Well it was very sunny yesterday, and even warm in sheltered areas. We had a few bees out, they would have been thirsty and irritable if out, so if he disturbed one he may have got stung.

 

[Boogie]

Yes, bees is also possible ‘tho he is only ever out of my sight for a few seconds and I imagine he would have reacted to bees or hornets (crying/running to me etc).

You can see the lumps on his nose on the photo, it’s possible he stuck it into something and got bitten/stung then had an allergic reaction.

 

[Boogie]

He’s definitely getting better. He’s just woken up and is showing an interest in the birds on the feeders.

 

[Charlie]

He is beautiful. I love him!! xx

 

[jazzmynn]

He’s just stunning, even with his swollen little face.

He's grown again! I think he's probably bigger than Joy now. So glad he's showing signs of feeling better.

It sounds very much like an allergic reaction. One bite, sting, or other irritation in an obscure place can create swelling and hives in other places. You’ll probably never know, just one of those mysteries of dog guardianship!

 

[Atemas]

Pleased he’s a lot better

Finn has had a same reaction on a bee sting when he was 10 month old....He looked like Echo...

Poor wee lad, I'm pleased he's feeling better now xx

 

[Boogie]

Echo isn’t allowed to chase balls, ball obsession would be a bad thing in a Guide Dog. But we have balls around so that they become just part of the landscape and nothing to get excited about .

This is Echo’s toy box, brimming with toys -




Just now he dug out the three balls and brought them to Tatze - so cute!

 

[Charlie]

Aww that's so cute xx

 

[kateincornwall]

Dear boy, that he is x I have to say that I`m impressed by your toy box , so many intact critters ! x

 

[Candy]

Sweet boy!

Tatze has, by and large, got over her toy eating habit.

Keir was a toy and bed destroyer, but Echo isn’t.

I never leave her alone with them (apart from the teddy she sleeps with and has had since a pup.)

I missed the whole swollen Echo episode earlier in the week. Glad that he's better but how strange. I hope he wasn't allergic to Carbon!

 

[Boogie]

Norty boy!

He’s bored bored bored because we are late going out. I had to take a photo before I told him to get down

 

[edzbird]

Norty! Neither of ours are allowed on the sofas. Coco leaped right over one, springing off the cushion, the other day during indoor zoomies as we were getting ready to go out.

 

[Boogie]

A moment ago he climbed on the window ledge - he’s clearly now got the idea of climbing!

Spencer jumped on our table in the garden on day two - so it’s taken Echo a while!

I think I have a teenager
