Echo - Guide Dog

[Boogie]

Cute face.

 

[Boogie]

I woke up this morning and Echo’s face is swollen, especially his eye but there are other lumps too.

He hasn’t been near anything that I could think of which might cause this reaction.

We have a vets appointment at 10am.

 

[Emily]

Oh that looks nasty. Poor boy, let us know how he goes.

 

[Candy]

Oh, how worrying! Hope the vets appointment goes OK. Thinking of you and Echo.

 

[Stacia]

Poor little pup, I do hope the vet can find out what is happening.

 

[SwampDonkey]

Poor boy hope it gets sorted soon.xxx

 

[kateincornwall]

Poor lamb ,hope you get on alright, hugs xxx

 

[Joy]

OH dear that looks painful. Hope the vet can sort it out easily.

 

[HAH]

Oh poppet, he looks a bit nonplussed hope the visit is a success and it’s a quick recovery poor mite x

 

[Loraseal]

Poor puppster Any news on what has caused it?

[Boogie]

I’m back from the vet and he’s given him a steroid injection and piriton tablets for 48 hours. The vet found hives on his tummy too. I’ve no idea what could have caused it, he’s not been anywhere different or eaten anything different.

Hopefully it’s just a one-off.

His swellings are already going down, bless him.

Oh dear, poor soul x

 

[Cath]

Poor lad, get well soon Echo xx

 

[kateincornwall]

Bless him , get well soon pet x

 

[Candy]

Glad the swellings are subsiding quickly. Hope he's soon back to normal. Does he seem bothered by it, or off colour at all?

 

[Charlie]

Poor boy, he looks so sad. Get better soon Echo xxx

 

[MellowYellow]

Poor little love, he looks so sorry for himself!!!

 

[Boogie]

He was very upset by it - crying, scratching and rubbing his head on my arm. But since his injection he’s been calm and he’s very snoozy now due to the medication - sleeping it off I hope

Oh no! You’ll remember I had similar with Willow and Luna last spring. One thing I would check on is if you have processionary caterpillars in your area, and whether they’ve started coming down from their nests yet. They’re awful things, spreading throughout the UK now and can cause this sort of reaction - and a lot worse.

Goodness - yes, I’ll check. The vet has advised not going to the same reservoir for a while.
