Poor Ziva

Ending plans for taking her to Anglesey show Ziva whacked her leg (thigh) running round and round the van last Thursday, she took the hair and top layer of skin off. We have been cleaning it daily and it dried beautifully and just looked like a graze. This afternoon it swelled up to about the size of an orange. It was obviously fluid, but it came up so quickly that I felt she need to see a vet. I rang her vets but they "had no available appointments," so I decided to register her at the other vet instead! Anyway the vet drained the lump, OMG the stuff that came out of it! She said it was a mixture of blood and cellular fluid. She can't really say why it came up so long after the original injury but did wonder if someone could have had a nibble? Possible, but we've not seen her bother with it at all really. Anyway antibiotics now and no need to return unless it becomes hot or painful! (Infected)
