Thanks Natalie! :-) I'm trying so hard to love spiders but it isn't working too well yet!!!

lol yeah i know how it is.. I have 3 spiders myself but i don't keep hot spiders.. got 2 little kids to worry about.. I know someone well know what they are.. I'll keep you posted and they are usually very fast to respond..

Kuno, this year we've had very warm temps... it is in the 60's today (not sure what that is in C). We had a few cold days last week, but only 2 nights below freezing. It always seems odd to have warm weather at Christmas!

Thank you for the well wishes!! She feels very bad. No word yet back from the vet on if I can give her a pain injection... look how sad... and she's such a sweetheart, she doesn't deserve to feel so bad!

aww poor baby give her lots of kisses for me and tell shell be fine Natalie's on the case we'll figure this out fast....

[jewel-dragons]

that looks bad enough... i hope the vet answers quickly as can....

i really don't know what you can do for now :S


just give her some kisses,that's the only thing you can do for now i think....


a can not imagine what it is when bitten by a poisonous animal... we have only the vipera here who is very anger for bigger animals and humans.... and live here in very low numbers.....

[Lori P]

She says thank you Aunt Natalie!! :-)

Just heard from the vet, so she got some pain meds. Hopefully she'll have her old smile again soon.

This is just a large Wolf Spider (possibly Alopecosa fabrilis or US equivalent) Certainly it's a Lycosid. It's harmless.
I think spider bites in general develop far more slowly than has been the case with your dog.

From my spider forum:

First spider is a fishing spider "Dolomedes sp".


Second, looks to be a some sort of wolf spider.


They also said that it's a very unlikely place for a spider to bite.. So we may or may not rule out a spider..
