I have about 3 dogs/older pups with a gathering of fluid at the point of the hock. It is not like a swelling but more like a little blob of fluid right under the skin. Has anyone ever had this happen before? I am wondering if it is some type of allergic reaction ?? It is not a cyst. I know my poor husband took advil and his lips swelled up huge like this and it was an allergic reaction. I have recently been giving Capstar along with my usual Frontline to try and combat an outbreak of fleas.............am wondering if it could be a reaction to Capstar and if anyone has ever had this or heard of it ?? Thanks in advance..........Amy Amy Safdir Almanya Shepherds www.almanyagsd.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
