hes also got one on top of his heads like a little bump under the skin like when they get stung by stingy nettles :wacko:

[nicky12]

[whippetsrus]

Allergic reaction? Sorry can't really help but had he been running through something?

 

[nicky12]

iv also been throu them to check for fleese and i cant find any unless the little buggers are hidding :blink: they didnt go out yesterday as i was at a show ,but they do always run throu the under grow in the forest and fields ,just a stab in the dark but blue got very stressed when we got back this morning and has been most of the day trying to mount tia ,im putting that down to her not being ther yesterday :wacko: do you think stress could cause this ???

also is ther anything i could put on it to help it ?

Sorry, Nicky, no idea at all ... but it does look like some type of reaction to something. Hope it goes away very soon. You could try half a Piriton??

Poor Blue's having a bit of a time of it at the mo, isn't he

Hope he gets better soon :luck: :thumbsup:

Try dabbing some lavender oil on Nicky, neat if you have it..it will stop the licking (dosnt taste that nice) but will stop the itching and help to heal.

it does look like an allergic reaction to me too.

i have some benadryl tablets here would half of one of those be ok to give him do you think ????

Do the blisters look orange? If it is harvest mites you can see the little orange critters with a magnifying glass. They also collect between their toes.

 

[nicky12]

ok thanks for that ,they look red not orange but will go buy magnifiing glass tomoz to check :thumbsup:

 

[whippetgood]

could they be ticks?

​

Not sure if benadryl is the same, but if the info says OK for young children then you are pretty safe provided you don't give more than half a tablet.

Blue's ears look really sore so expect the vet will be your best option :luck: :huggles:

Poor BLue :huggles: :huggles: Hope you get it sorted,whatever it is :thumbsup:

i think they look a bit sore in those pics as i had just bathed them in salt water ,they seem to be drying out and no more fresh ones have appeared :sweating: and i can ashure you if it looks any worst tomoz he will be off to the vets as i never take chances with my babies iv also not cut my grass in a few weeks so it may be from stingy nettles or sumthing out ther so thats first on my agenda tomoz cut grass very short and off to get a magnifieing glass. :thumbsup:
