Winston's first emergency dash to vets.. $$$$........

This afternoon we noticed Winston come running up to us and his eyes and lips were all swollen. He started crying and thrashing about in his bed.. we knew something had bitten him. We gave him an antihistamine and phoned the vets. They said because of his young age to bring him in, it was horrible to see him hurting like that.. his little face looked like he had run into a brick wall! They checked him over and gave him 2 needles..and what a brave boy he was..He is safe back home now, and just had his tea, so he is well on the road to recovery as he shovelled it all in as usual! The swelling is already coming down....poor little bugger.. And guess what.. I didn't even think to take a photo of him with his little face so horribly swollen!! So glad he is okay.. we never found out what it was that bit him.. could have been the same ruddy scorpion that got me the other day!

Poor baby, I think you had a little more to worry about than a pictures. I hope he is ok, lots of cuddles from me and Moo ><

Thanks Janey and Moo...will pass on that cuddle...
haha you know how I am obsessed with taking pics of my boys !!
My hubby said I am surprised you didn't take a photo for your staffy club website !!!

Poor baby Winston. It must've been very scary to see him like that. So glad that you took him to the vet and he had some medication to help......and glad also that he is on the mend so quickly.

Stay away from bitey stingy things in future young man

Lots of licks from Roxy and Hugs from me ><

aw poor winston, sending lots of hugs from me and billy, i would have been a jibbering wreck

><

... trouble is there are so many stingy bitey things out here....I would love to think it will never happen again.....

That could have turned out to be far worse ..poor little mite.... hope he is on the mend now...

Awww bless him, give him a cuddle from me and bruno.

Poor little sweetheart!

Hope he's feeling much better now.

Poor little Winston
What a terrible fright that must have been for you, I would have been beside myself.
Glad he is on the mend, big hugs from me and lot's of sloppy kisses from my girls ><

how is winston today

Winston has made a remarkable recovery today.. thanks everyone.

This morning he was in the garden, where the pond is, barking at something.. oh no, I thought ,now what has he found. He came trotting out, ever so proudly, with a huge big bloated dead frog in his mouth ! Took me a while to prise it out of his mouth...eek!! Reckon he would have been pretty ill if he had eaten that...
He is going to be an absolute scallywag and keep us on our toes, that's for sure!
Then, this afternoon, he had his head in a bush in the garden, and then took off a million miles an hour with his tail between his legs..!! I am sure I was never this grey before we got Winston....
