11/30/2023 0 Comments Dog stung by bee face swollen![]() ![]() He is in severe pain he is not going to let you examine him I had him muzzled. On 1st week of July he woke up with a super swollen eye oozing&practically shut and his whole eyebrow&abovewas super swollen.I took him to the vet the vet swore it was his teeth I told him no. So my dog has always had really bad allergies in his eyes his whole life. She also just had all her yrly vaccines exactly 2weeks ago I didn’t feed her anything out of norm & we know she didn’t get into anythingin or around house to cause this please any suggestions I would most greatly appreciate she is 4yrs old aprox 45lbs about 10lbs overweight she is mixed spayed we believe sheltie&amer eskm. I took her to a local er vet they muzzeled her she was not bhaving but they could not give her a correct exam due to muzzle & it all in face area they said they gave her injection of benedryl & something else sent me on my way with 4day supply of predizone & 50mg hydroxazlene they said for itching and a $200.bill (not that my dog isn’t worth it) but now she is worse she is sick laying around,throwing up about 15x,urinating like crazy & eating grass like no tommorow!! I called this er vet place back they told me to bring her back but it would b more $$ I’m mad cuz they already couldn’t handle her & examine her correctly idk if I should coontine to give her these pills if its making it worse. Omg! This looks like my dog yesterday! Her left eye blewup top of her nose & inside right lip the parts that was so swellon looked almost bloody bright red. Of course, when it's your dog who is "blown up" they can sure look an emergency. Unless there is respiratory distress, they really aren't emergencies. The snakebites also should be treated like any other contaminated puncture wound (antibiotics). We give them antihistamines and cortisone, plus pain medicine if needed. Most of these would get okay eventually without much treatment. When your basic mutt gets a face like a Shar Pei, think snake-bite. ![]() ![]() The dog usually does not swell up anyplace else. Dogs always investigate nose-first, so snake-bites almost always are on the front of the muzzle. In our part of the country, the only poisonous snakes we have to contend with are the copperhead and the cottonmouth. Snake-bites are a less common cause of facial swelling. Those are the ones that cause you to quickly turn blue and die if you aren't carrying your epi-pen. Again, an allergic-type reaction, but rarely as severe as the anaphylactic reactions that make your bronchial tubes swell shut. Insect stings are probably the most common reason that dogs look like this. Some type of allergic reaction, we think. It's like hives (urticaria for you scientific types). "What happened to him?" We don't know.ĭachshunds (more commonly than other breeds) sometimes get facial swelling as a part of a drug or vaccine reaction. In fact, twice in a twelve-hour period this weekend I've seen a dog with a swollen face (different dogs, okay?) Look at that right lip and left eye. Every so often a dog comes in with a swollen face. ![]()
