Swollen nose after being crated

We had to put Loki in his crate this afternoon in order to go shopping. If we hadn't he'd have paced around, howling, groaning and crying and probably broken a leg or impailed himself on something.

I hate the post-ictal part of seizures.

Anyway after getting him out we have noticed that his snout is swollen, a golf ball area just above the nose. I think he's probably stuck it through the bars and hurt it. I put an ice-pack on it but any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Oh poor Loki. Sorry I don't have any advice just sending healing hugs and hopes his poor little nose it back to normal soon xx

Ice pack would have been my advise LS. Hope it goes down soon.

awe, poor wee man, cold cloths, hope he is better soon,

I would also agree with the ice pack. Give it a couple of days, if it hasn't gone down, or has got bigger, then maybe a word with the vet might help.

Big gentle kisses for my boy xxx

I used bob grass ointment on mine. or savlon

Thanks
It's looking much better now. Course it means the little devil gets away with pulling as I feel mean putting a Dogmatic on him now .

Hope Loki's nose has gone down a bit by now Lucky? Sorry I missed this thread. Hope he's doing ok though, awwwwww

Thanks Helen . He's much improved now - just at the end of the seizure period (thankfully!), the hole in his leg seems to be healing (hope Keena's is too!) and the swelling has lessened.

Ah these dogs of ours don't half put us through it sometimes.

Glad to hear it!

You're telling me!! I've got one with a bad limp, and the other one with bloody diarrhea!!! Now the one with the limp has also got diarrhea, but that's coz he's been bin poking!!! Oh and then there's Mum!!! and Dave had a migraine yesterday!!!
