Coffee is on!
My dog is brand new this morning, no real injury so I think it was a bald-faced hornet...they seem to have taken over the truck and claimed it as theirs. I can't stand those things :somad
I got stung twice in the same day a few weeks ago, and I swear it hurts more than any other sting...it's close to a centipede bite.

On a non-bug note...
One of my angoras had her kits today! A day early but that's fine with me. She had 6 beautiful lilacs! :love
That brings my baby angora load to 24 now...18 of them are 5 weeks old though so it doesn't count ha ha!
Hope everyone has a great day! Hopefully there'll be some rain in the forecast for those who need it...I know I do!

Glad your dog is ok, I treat copperhead bites with benedryl, baby aspirin and an arnicare pill for the pain. It usually takes 3 doses 4 hours apart.

Congrats on the angora litters! That's a lotta babies, are you going to sell them?
Thanks for the tip on the copperhead bite care :)
And I plan on selling most of the angoras...i might keep just a few. Some of the 5-week-olds are gorgeous colors...i have a solid chocolate, a chestnut and a fawn that i want to keep. And maybe a lilac or 2. And i gotta keep a blue :lol:

Yep, you got it. Rabbit-uh-tosis! Symptoms are big feed bills, lots of rabbits, constantly talking about rabbits and cuddling rabbits. There is no cure.

I haven't heard of arnicare, but am interested. Our female dog had swollen lady parts from an abrasion or something probably from squatting to pee while the grass was too tall. Anyway, I was advised to treat with chewable benadryl with a dose per weight, and I used the spray form of the gel to apply topically that has been mentioned time and time again in here, but can't remember the name. It's safe for eyes and if licked. We were doing that every 4 hours or abt 3x a day while awake.

We use Arnicare in a cream rub on for pain, it immediately takes effect and lasts 4 hours. The Arnicare pills go under the tongue and are good for 4 hours. We give the pills to the dogs when they get snakebit or hurt and have obvious pain. We buy the tubes of cream 4 or 5 at a time to make sure we don't run out.
