• Mirtillo is bothered by an itch..

    What can we do about it?


  • Definitely see a vet. I would think they will give you antibiotics, but they may have something else in store as well. That is a little disturbing for me to just play the wait and see for a couple days though.

    I can't tell if that's a blister or a small scratch that has gotten irritated.

    If it's just a scratch, I think I'd just put some ointment on it a few times a day
    and try to keep him out of the serious dirt for a few days.


  • It looks like a blister, or cold sore.
    I would get it checked..
    Its got to hurt.

    Yeah, thought about it.. I think it's from a plant. I believe it is cald hogweed in English. We were at training this morning (yes, again the training) and they grow there.

    Could well be that it was the hogweed as I have heard of it irritaing humans skin and causing blisters.
