Post by: MrsR on August 09, 2009, 19:27:43 PM

Is it where she would have had it clipped and IV line taped in? Lola was very intent on washing her 3 IV areas when she got back, she made them red but fortunately no worse

not an expert here, but I would have thought concentrating on only one small patch suggests a bite or sting of some sort, rather than any of the allegy, dermatitis, parasitic skin problems

unless she was given an injection in that site?
