[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 61294, member: 1991"] A bee, wasp or ant sting in a vulnerable spot on the head can cause swelling like this. it depends on where the sting happens. difficult child 3 got a tick embedded on his temple, near his eye. The eye swelled up like he had been slugged hard by someone. Swollen and dark-coloured. And the tick had only been in for maybe an hour. We have a few varieties of ants over here that would cause a swelling like this. And donna is right, a snakebite can do a lot of damage like this too. But the vet would have been on top of that one, I'm sure. You did the right thing, taking her to the vet. If he's doing all that, and she's still taking her time recovering, you could have lost her. The 'hot spots' have me concerned - are they on areas more likely to be in contact with other things (such as on the outer part of the hip) or are they in folds and tucked in areas, skin-to-skin contact on her own body? Do they correspond to lymph gland location? Because if she is getting a heightened sensitivity tat is triggering an immune response, it could give clues. But if she is in a heightened state, then she is going to be far more reactive. Marg [/QUOTE]
