strange lump? - 2008/03/30 06:41 i was playing with Allie last night and i noticed two tiny red lumps on her face just above her mouth. Couldn't get a pic as they are too small and she's not one for sitting still and posing.

Any ideas?

Could it be a food allergy?

Re:strange lump? - 2008/03/30 13:08 It could be some pimples. I wouldn't worry unless they look infected, or if she is worrying at them much. She's still a youngster, isn't she? Stasi

Re:strange lump? - 2008/04/02 07:23 hi, i took allie to the vet and he said she had some sort of infection. She's on antibiotics. He took ages trying to figure out what dose to give her.

Its a bit of a nightmare trying to get her to eat it though. the vet said to mix 0.4ml with 100ml of water. but she's not much of a drinker so didn't think that would work.

So i came up with an idea. She loves fruit, so i mixed 0.1ml with a bit of my strawberry and banana smoothie - Down it went. bless her.

the next morning the lumps looked better already. the one on her tummy and one on her ear had gone.

hopefully she'll be back to her prettyful self again soon.
