Troy


Ive noticed in the last couple of days a scab on the back of his neck. It isnt growing but is bright pink. He has had in the past a collar on which is now been taken off. I should a friend it today and she said it looks like a bite. Its the half the size of a pea. Could it be a tick. I recentley found one on simon just before i deflead them again. It doesnt seem to be bothering him though but i am taking him on monday just too be checked out.

Re: Troy


Jane, I've never seen a tick bite, but agree it won't hurt to have the vet take a look. Hope it's nothing to worry about......

Re: Troy


Guinness has just being treated for something that came up, between his ear and his eye. He was on AB for a week and had to wear a collar. The vet said it was some kind of infection. Troy due to his hearing does not go out we think he is deaf he only goes in the garden.
