Has your dog recently come into the house with an odd looking bite on his body? Is the bite inflamed or even swelling? If so, please call your vet. Your vet may need to see your dog in office to take a closer look at the bite. Insect bites are normally not a threat. However, if the bite is reacting more like a spider bite then extreme caution should be taken. Spider bites are hard to identify by sight; however, symptoms of spider bites such as a bite from a black widow are very evident. Your dog may present symptoms such as muscle tremors, cramping, abdominal rigidity, severe pain in the back, chest or abdomen, respiratory problems, increased blood pressure, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Some dogs may show no symptoms at all while younger or older dogs are at a higher risk. Follow your local vets Aurora CO team’s treatment plan for your dog.
