Not sure what to do. She has been bitten we think whilst camping last week. It showed as a spot yesterday which became increasingly inflamed and yellowish as the day progressed.
This am it looked like she had taken the head off in the night and was scabbing over.
We showed the pharmacist today who said the scab looked clear and may heal itself but if it started weeping to check it out as infected.
This evening it is really swollen red and angry about size of 2p around the scab and is oozing yellow.
NHS advise to take her to walk in centre but she is now in bed asleep.
Should i wake her or do you think it will be ok left to first thing tom ?
