I hadn't considered insect bites, but it's certainly possible, we've got a variety of wasps and such in the area. He does look a bit like a puppy that ate a bee.
He didn't touch the HHBs or the boo balls (hhb crumbs, peanut butter, a pinch of crushed tums) today. I'd like for him to get some vitamins and calcium from the blocks... I will mash one up and add ground pecans and sunflower seeds and a spot of peanut butter and see if he'll take that.
I did get him a little bit of ibuprofen on Tuesday. I diluted it (the only way I could get Sister to take it, the flavor is pretty strong) and put it in a dish. He only sniffed it. I dipped a piece of pecan in it and he ate that... he most certainly didn't get the full dose but hopefully it was enough to help.
Looking at the pictures, the swelling has gone down on his forehead too, so we're moving in the right direction
Boy had me a little worried there when it was just getting worse.
