what a way to start the morning.....

This morning when i went out to pick up and water...Hot Mama looked like someone had shoved a soccer ball in her cheek ..IM assuming its a spider bite rather than a copperhead, being that its in high 30's here...I checked her spot for a snake..and well no snake..lol unless she ate it...which i doubt..But shes doing fine..acts like nothing happend to her..lol. Gave her some dex and amox..swelling has started to go down..I just wanted to share the pics with everyone..LOL enjoy....

 

good to hear she's doing better. hope everything turns out o.k.

 

Good Lord poor dog!! Hope the swelling goes down soon.

 

Glad she is doing o.k.

 

That poor baby...glad she is on the mend, and my morning wasn't like yours....Hot Mama might of had to call 911 FOR ME!!!!!LOL :o

 

WOW... thats looks pretty bad. Definitely glad to hear she's doing better.

puregame

 

aww poor girl...glad she's acting good though! keep us up dated!

 

dang everything bad is happenin 2day... hope she gets better quick...

 

Damn that one Bad Ass spider bite!!

 

Poor thing, at least you were able to take care of her promptly. Sorry to hear it though. Keep us posted if you find out what the cause is for sure. Hopefully she'll heal up quick!!

 

Yikes! That looks awful! Just keep on doing what you're doing. If she'll let you do a warm compress that might feel good too.

 

did you check her doghouse,they might have bedded up in it,, might be a spider, but i had a snake do one like that,,except mine was close to the nose and it looked like a softball a the end of her nose

 

Ive had dogs bit by snakes many times...BUT i have yet to see one be this swollen. Most of the time the swollen area is soft. Hers is hard like a brick...Im leaning more toward a poisinous spider of some kind.

 

Ouch!!!!!!

Happy to hear she is doing better. That sure looks naaaaasty!!!!!:eek:

 

Yikes. I hope shes ok?

 

damn that sucks how she doing now

 

dang she looks like a bull frog haha...but i'm glad shes doing better

 

Poor doggie. Hope it goes down soon.

 

Shes doing a little better now...im trying to figure out what kind of spider it is...I dont think its a brown recluse, being that their poision is flesh eating and usally causes the area of the bite to abcess and look alomost like a gunshot wound. Usally within 24 hours of the bite necrosis will set in and the skin with slough off and result in a huge nasty hole where the bite was. Just to show how extreme the swelling was..here is hotmama before the swelling and then with the swelling.

 

Poor girl! Glad to hear she's doing better.
