They still arent bothering her so have left them alone.I spoke to the Vet who said he doesnt think they are Bot Larval sores as they are now so rare, BUT if she hasnt been wormed with an Ivermectin wormer there is a chance they could be.
These are pics ive taken of them over the last week.
21st
25th
And today 27th.
Now vet has seen them he and another vet are sure they are actually from a form of Herpes virus, so basically coldsores. Youngsters are more susceptible to them due to lower immune system, small scratch and there you go! You can use human coldsore cream Zovirax or just bonjela on them to help clear them up, they will take a while to clear up and like human coldsores, may come back again but should clear up as she gets older. Any problems phone the vet. So, Im off to buy some Bonjela!!
Hope this helps!
