Nasty wound. Any idea of the type of spider? That cone will drive him bonkers as he bumps into door frames, etc. Hope he heals fast. Gil

I am sorry to hear that. Is it definitely getting better though slowly? Who is your vet there Dr. Bailey?

That is a nasty looking bite...Our Dog Cookie got a Spider bite about 2 years ago on her left front leg, it was a nasty wound also..The Vet said it was likely a brown recluse Spider that did the damage. Our Dog did not gnaw at her wound but she did lick it often but the Vet never had to put a lampshade on her..Antibiotics cleared our Dog up but it took quite some time for the bite to heal..Cookie still wears a scar from the bite and always will..Good luck with your Dog..
