I'm so sick of allergies! We spend over 3 1/2 hours at the emergency vet on Thursday night after I noticed the right side of Allie's face was swelling up like crazy. He didn't even look like himself he had lost his wrinkles in his forehead and under his right eye and they had turned into huge puffy masses. When we tried to touch his face to see if there was a bee stinger in it he cried out in pain. Wegot scared, called Dove Lewis and they told us to bring him right in. They ended up giving him a Benydryl shot which didn't seem to work on it's own so then the gave him a steroid shot. After waiting with him for what seemed like forever we noticed it going down slightly and decided to bring him home.
They couldn't tell us what caused it, only that they have dogs come in with the same problem on a nightly basis.
All day friday he was still really puffy. Saturday he looked a ton better. However today he's looking swollen again. I'm going to give it another day and then take hime to his normal vet if it looks bad. I'm starting to wonder if he may have an infection or something and maybe the swelling is fluid build up. If anyone had any idea let me know.
You can really tell from the pic but he's still swollen (not horribly) in this pic. He's also drugged out from all the anti histamines we've been giving him.
