Well it's happened again.....We've had another outbreak of the Bingo paw!
It first occurred last year when Evvie devloped a very swollen paw.....We were baffled as to what had caused it and at the time we got very worried even though it didn't seem to bother her at all.
Anyways the other day she was having a little break from the kittens out in the garden just to get a bit of fresh air (under supervison ofcourse).....Whilst she was playing about in the grass something grabbed her attention in the distance and she stormed off after it as you would imagine a bengal would!
What she pounced on turned out to be a wasp or a bumble-bee.....And within minutes her paw swelled-up like a balloon.....Again she wasn't in any pain or discomfort at all.
Look at the size of my poor girls toe!
Two days later and the swelling has completely gone.....It didn't seem as bad this time but atleast we now know the cause of the dreaded bingo paw!
And as for the old saying "Once bitten, Twice shy".....Well that obviously doesn't take into account the fearless nature of the mighty Bengal!
