Just for a slightly different opinion, Spikey got himself into a patch of burdock, and was a total mess. Perhaps it could have been caused by some weeds, most of which have gone to seed now.

We'll be hoping that it's gone by morning.

Well, the only things I can think of are that he had a bath at the vet office on Wed but didn't have these things until yesterday...? We also spent a lot of time in the park yesterday and he crawled thru some bushes - maybe allergic? Lastly, spider bites. They are all over the place since the weather turned crisp.

He slept well but we could definitely tell when the benadryl ran out this morning because he started scratching his head. He ate normally, used the yard, took his morning walk, is playing with Sam, just all with a bumpy head.

Brian's taking him to the vet at 11am while I'm teaching. I feel pretty sure its nothing serious but want him fixed!

Marianne,

I don't know what it is but I don't think it's anything serious.

Keep us posted.

It does sound like insect bites - Murphy had a similar reaction once, but it's always best to have it checked out.

Good luck at the vet's!

Well, it appears to be some kind of a bacterial skin infection so we have an antibiotic for that. He also has 2 sebacious cysts that she isn't too worried about and a yeast infection in his ears (which we also have meds for)

Poor little man seems to be tuckered out now. Those bumps came on so suddenly though and he was really itchy. She said we can give him a benadryl too if we need to...

We'll just keep our eye on him and make Sam stop trying to play with him for today!

Thanks

Marianne
