Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! With most insect or spider bites we never see the actual event take place. Did you see a spider make that spot on Loui's belly or are you assuming it's a bite? Most assumed bites cause hives, facial swelling and scratching. The picture could indicate an insect or spider bite but could be a lot of other things: start of a skin infection, contact allergy, trauma. If it is a spider bite you witnessed and there hasn't been any facial swelling or hives then hopefully the lesion on the belly is all you will see. Bit since he is so young and we are approaching the weekend, just have him seen by your Vet today so they can look at the area up close. I hope this helps and have a great day!
