This all started when we moved. We took Sadie out one morning and she found of all things a Black Widow Spider. My hubby found it on her face trying to bite her! Of course we panicked and took her to the emergency vet right away. (lovely things happen at 6:30am when everything you own is is boxes) So they had to shave half of her face so we could watch for any redness or swelling. they also immediately started her on antibotics. Luckily if there was a bite she didn't get any venom. We think it couldn't bite her through her hair. Well we went out of town this weekend to visit my MIL and so we boarded Sadie for the first time. I wanted her groomed to even out her face and when we picked her up they had cut her short EVERYWHERE! I'm just glad that the spider couldn't get to her. But now she is so short it could get her so of course the new house has been sprayed twice by my husband and once by professionals. I'm not taking any chances! |
