Question

my cockerspaniel bitch is under immense distress at present and keeps shaking her head.On examination I noticed a series of what looks like oval-like and slightly elongated sores in her mouth (on the underside of her lips). Earlier on today it looked like her muzzle and eyes were swollen.She won''t settle down at all now and keeps whimpering. Can you advise?

Hi colin,

Quite possibly she has mouthed something irritating ... an ornamental cactus would fill that bill.

As might be the shock from an electric cord? In either case, the proper meds may give her relief... have her vet take a look.

Hope this helps, and best wishes
