Dog in Spain
His Royal Wagginess has an infection in his right ear which I have been treating with Panalog. Today I noticed a large swelling in his neck just below the jawline. I took him for a walk yesterday thru a wooded area. Could the swelling be an insect bite, or something referred from the ear infection? Will take him to the vets asap, but would like someone to put my mind at rest for now.
Thanks.
Thanks.

He has a slight raised temp. but when she had a good look in the ear, she said there was a lot of infection and pus in there. She gave him antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injections, and we have to go back at 10am tomorrow to see her colleague, and to see how he has responded (i.e if the swelling has reduced). If it has, she will give him a week of anti-inflammatories, and a "long" course of antibiotics. She's also given us some Confite forte to put in his ears twice a day. Fingers crossed... !
