Oh wow! Just now seeing this. That sounds EXACTLY like a brown recluse bite. So scary! Continue what you are doing and watch her. I know those bites can kill tissue ( like the scooping out you mentioned). They can also cause neurological issues. If you see any signs of that, get her back to the vet asap. Praying!! |
My prayers are sure with her, hope she heals quickly. |
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. |
Checking to see how Julia is today...better I hope!! |

I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner. We had a pretty bad storm come through and had one of our trees fall on electrical lines. Our electricity was out for about 6 hours. Julia, is doing okay. The wound still looks very red, but not as hot with fever. The hole that looks like it has been scooped is turning black now. This was Day 3 or Day 2. I get so confused....no Day 3. But the hole isn't bigger. Its very tender though. I can tell she isn't feeling well. She is eating and drinking though. Hopefully, will look much better tomorrow. Thank you for all of the prayers and I ask if you will continue? |
Still praying... |
Continued prayers for Julia... |
Keeping sweet Julia in my thoughts. Glad you have your power back! |
Day 4 Picture 1 Attachment(s) Here is a picture of Julia's spider bite today. Today is the 4th day and its still not scabbing over yet. Does anyone know if that sounds about right? The hole seems to get a little bit bigger each day. The bite is only slightly warm today. Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. :) |
I'd ask your vet. When does she go back? My prayers continue for Julia. |
Wow that is really red. Teddy bear's spider bite was looking better right away. We took him back to the vet two days after his bite and it already looked better and the scab was forming. As you can see from my pictures the redness was already better by the second day. I would try to get the vet to look at again ASAP. Did the vet squeeze any infection out when you first brought her in? I think that helped Teddy Bear but don't know for sure. Please post a request for prayers in the sick and injured section. I'm hoping for the best outcome for Julia. Hugs.... |
