I was really worried last night when Alfie came running in
from the garden with one very swollen eye. We weren’t sure what was happening,
so Jason bathed it gently with water, and I called the vet.
From our detailed explanation of his symptoms they thought
it sounded like a bite or a sting, and recommended we give him Piriton tablets,
which we did. Always seek medical advice before giving your pet any tablets, of
course, but it really helped to reduce the swelling and it’s pretty much back
to normal this morningl.
I just wanted to write this to make you aware of the
increased risks of bites and stings in the summer, and not to panic if the same
thing happens to your dog. Stay calm and give your vet a call. Unfortunately
there’s nothing you can do to stop it happening, but just be vigilant and look
out for insect nests in your garden before your pet finds them!
