We have two dachshunds, a female long hair and a male smooth hair. The female received some sort of insect bite or sting on her foot at about her ankle. We have no idea what got her. We noticed she was licking her foot a lot and not acting normal and the site was swollen. Off to the vet and he drained the spot. He sent a sample of the fluid to OSU vet school to see if they had an idea and they agreed it was not a tumor or normal infection from a cut, likely a sting or bite. So pills are prescribed.
The pills have to hidden in a soft treat. We had to go buy some treats she would snarf down. Of course the male figures if treats are handed out he deserves one as well.
The funniest part is any treat in my right hand is what he wants. He only goes to a right hand. So I have to remember to put the treat with the pill in the left hand. She is doing a lot better after just a few days of treatment. She is back to acting normal and the swelling is way down.
We will never know what zapped her.
