My Teddy Bear was bitten by a brown recluse at the beginning of August. We got him to the vet right away because we spotted a spot of blood about the size of a quarter on his leg. The vet said she could tell it was a brown recluse bite by the appearance and because it was a large red lump that was hard below the skin. The lump was blood red in color and it looked like a blackish area about the size of a dime in the center that was bleeding. The vet squeezed cottage cheese-like stuff out of it and we think the venom was squeezed out too. We were really lucky the venom hadn't had a chance to spread. It was really scary. It was completely healed in 10 days. I pray that your baby will be ok and it wasn't a brown recluse.
