Mosquito Bites
   
 







GIVE MOSQUITO BITES THE COLD SHOULDER
 
The most dangerous consequences of a mosquito bite to your dog or cat is heartworm disease. But your kitty-and less often, your pooch-also may develop a common allergic reaction to a mosquito bite.
 
Swelling, redness, and a mild rash on or around the eyelids could very well mean that your Dog has been bitten by mosquito. Since it's tricky to try to apply soothing creams or lotions to the eyea area, apply a cold compress instead. Dampen a clean cloth with cold water or wrap a couple of ice cubes in a clean cloth, then hold the compress against the injured eyelid for a few moments or as long as your Pet will allow it. The cold should reduce both the swelling and the pain.
