You know, it does seem like this could be a possibility. This came on so quickly. He is bad to rub his face. I am wondering if maybe something got lodged in there when he was face rubbing. I'm also wondering if it could be a spider bite. We are keeping a very close eye on him. He received his first round of meds tonight. If I don't see improvement soon, I will take him for a second opinion. He is eating great and playing like normal. I don't think he's even aware that he has an enormous infection on his face. I love our vet. He always remains so calm and so far he has been right on the money with each of our pets' diagnoses. I hope this holds out with this one.
