(sorry for the double post above. don´t know what happened..)

Thanks Suanne and you have a good eye !

4 weeks ago Lomu had a basketball instead of a head, likely due to an allergic reaction to a bug (spider? bee? wasp?) sting.

One day after the incident and ~12 hrs after medication he still looked like this

Lomu is looking great! It's scary when they have a reaction like that. My Al is a reactor. I always keep Benadryl with me and he gets a shot of antihistamine before all required vaccinations. Luckily he's never been stung. Glad Lomu is okay.

Lomu, has the sweetest face, just adorable.

I love the last picture you posted (when he was not in the mood...)

It's as if he's thinking: "Ok, let's get this show on the road, and get it over with." LOL!

Regarding reactions to bug bites and stings....
They can be deadly serious.
Years ago, we had a Shepherd/Husky cross by the name of Robby.
We had no way of knowing he was allergic, until he suddenly became deathly ill one day when he was 2 years old. We had no idea what was wrong.

We ran him to the Vet, who said it was an allergic reaction to Wasp stings . He'd apparantly tried to swallow some Wasps in the yard, and was stung on the inside of his throat.

The Vet gave him some shots, and decided to keep him overnight. In the morning we recieved a call, that Robby had died overnight.....

So definitely something to take very seriously.
