Most likely it was a fire ant, as mentioned. Jo got bit by one when we lived there and his little face swelled up to about 3 times it's normal size within a minute or so. We had to rush him to the vet for some shots but he was fine. After that we built them a 10 by 25 foot fenced concrete patio so they didn't have to go out in the grass anymore! Now that we're in Illinois...they love to play in the grass and...no fire ants! |
