Yesterday I sponged a patch of matted hair on the back of Sasha’s neck and found an open wound (the size of a small finger nail). No idea how it got there! Mary the vet thinks it was maybe a White-tailed spider bite. She cleaned it up and Sasha has 7 days of Clavulox.

@jayeless Sasha doesn't seem at all troubled by it — maybe a slight loss of energy — but I was concerned about her gettig an infection.

@matti I've never actually seen one though they do warn us they can bite.
