Then at about 6:00pm I saw that his nose was swollen, which is what happened when he got bit by a spider last time. I called the vet and made an appointment for the next day. They said if he seemed to be having trouble breathing to take him to the emergency vet. His nose wasn’t as bad as last time, so I wasn’t too worried.

Of course, he completely got over it while we slept, but I went to the vet anyway because I just wanted to ask her questions. She said it probably was some sort of a bug bite. Probably a different bug because the symptoms were not exactly the same as last time. I told her I had been letting him him sniff around in the old leaves in the forest in the same spot where he had been bit the first time. I had thought, “What’s the chance of that happening again?” Apparently quite high.
