Allergies, allergies...........

....something's living on my skin.
(Small Paul Simon tribute there, for any fans reading )

So, here's the timeline

yesterday teatime - Dinah has panda eye - right eye. Rim is inflamed, eyeball perfectly OK, no redness, no discharge, no irritation.
My diagnosis - mmm, I saw her put her nose into a cordyline (?Sp) in the garden - she must have poked it.

this morning - 2 panda eyes. She's not bothered.
Change diagnosis - when she was helping 'inspect' the fire before I set it she must have fuffed up some wood ash into her face.
Treatment. Monitor - if worse at lunchtime see vet

lunchtime - right eye much improved, left eye same....but now added 'bumps' on back. Like bee stings/hives. Don't appear to irritate.
Diagnosis - Prob more likely something she's eaten than been in contact with. ? what.
Monitor - decide if to go to vet later.


this afternoon - both eyes absolutely fine. Bumps same or less.


Anyone any bright ideas?
The only 'out of the ordinary' thing she's had (as far as I know) is a lump of unpasteurised camembert in her kong yesterday. D'you think that's set it off? B***** French!

I can't see the point in taking her to the vet now - it's getting better and I'd rather not get into the drug thing - often cause as much trouble as they sort.


Oh - nearly forgot, she is coming into her first season, suppose that might be significant
