Title: Blisters (not sure how else to describe)
Post by: lesley3165 on July 29, 2016, 10:17:58 AM
Hi, I wonder if anyone else has an experience like this? About 10 days ago we noticed 3 small lumps on Megs back, when I had a closer look they were scaly as if it was a blister that had burst. Over the following few days more of these came up primarily on her stomach. I've been to the vets and she has given her a 14 day course of Antirobe Clindamycin. She has had 2 doses (1 per day) but this morning I have been stroking her and she has several more, some of them about the size of a penny. We have been out with her a lot recently and thought maybe it was an allergic reaction to something but the fact they are still appearing is making me concerned. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thank you

What a worry.  Really sorry I can't give any more advice, no experience of anything similar.  I can only suggest if the blisters are still appearing after a few more days you should consider going back to the vets, maybe a blood test is the way forward.  Sending :bigarmhug:

Not sure what they could be, but I hope the vet can find something to help her  :luv:

It is the peak season for tics of every sort- not just the sheep ones that swell and are easily seen and removed but beasties of every type. Does sound like insect related- I guess the antibiotics are a good precaution because there things carry so many infections. >:( Hope they clear up.
