Lab has facial swelling that comes and goes. Suggestions?

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Our Labrador has been having some swelling in his face. It comes and goes. Sometimes it is from his nose all the way to his forehead and other times it is just spots on his nose. He did have one day of vomiting and diarrhea. His eyes will even look a bit droopy. It never stays swollen for long. The only thing I can think of is that it looks like he has been eating the leaves off one of my houseplants. Any suggestions if this doesn’t stop occurring soon?

Thanks, Renee

I took my dog for a walk and her face swelled up when we got back

I have a small 18 month old female collie. Around 20 – 30 mins after taking her out on an overgrown track (grass, nettles etc) her face began to ripple and swelled to more than twice its size within seconds, in front of my eyes.  Her eyes were ‘Chinese’ looking and she basically looked like a Staff Bull Terrier. She did not seem distressed, was eating and drinking as normal and swallowing and barking OK.  The swelling has gone down quite a bit this morning and she is still eating OK.  She has been up this track many times, but not for a couple of weeks due to the overgrowth.  Could this be a bite or sting?
