Paddy and Benji had their VHD vacs yesterday and this evening I have noticed Paddy nibbling and grooming at his leg.
I've discovered there's a bald patch about the size of a 2p piece at the top of one of his front legs. I managed to get some pics of it - it looks clean and he seems pretty much fine in himself apart from over-grooming this patch. He's eating and moving about fine.
As I've heard about reactions to the Cylap vaccine, am I (probably) right to assume this is one such case? The bald patch is nowhere near where the vaccine was injected - can these patches occur on other parts of the body, not just near the injection site?
I was all set to take him to the emergency vet tonight, but I think that's probably not necessary. Should I take him to the vet in the morning? As I say it looks clean and the skin doesn't appear to be broken. Don't know if he would benefit from Metacam. Should it just clear up on its own? (obviously we'll keep a close eye on it).
I actually asked the vet yesterday if they ever used Lapinject, and she said they had done in the past, but they tend to stick to Cylap. I didn't pursue it, but I'll not be having the Cylap done again.
Any advice welcome, thanks :wave:
