We have just got back from the vets as Lilia has two lumps on her leg and she was chewing them. The vet thinks it was ticks (even though i look out for them and didnt see any on her).
She was given an antibiotic injection to try to clear them up. The vet said if they dont heal she will have to have them removed. Can anyone recommend anything to put on her to make it heal? Many thanks. Di & Lilia

tick lumps take forever to heal,best to just leave them alone

I found a tick on my leg 2 weeks ago and the lump is still there
