Bridger, the spoiled rotten pups, rarely makes the headlines, but recently she had an infection that perplexed even the best vets. We'll spare you the gory details (and photos). We were never able to determine exactly what happened to her, but apparently she was bitten by something like a spider or a tick. Her rear left leg swelled up to about 4x its normal size. She had a fever, stopped eating, and pretty much just laid around in pain. She also lost a lot of skin on her leg around the bite, and we had to put a very complicated bandage on her leg twice, then once a day. After many rounds of various drugs, she slowly got better. I think her vet was the most surprised about her recovery. Her skin slowly grew back, and then her hair. You can now hardly tell there was ever anything wrong with her leg.
