I would have your pup checked out right away, it's possible it's an allergic reaction to something or it could be something more serious.

It could be a reaction to any cleaners you use in your house, chemicals in the yard, your pup may have been bitten by an insect or stung.

Here is a list of toxic plants-

Poisonous Plants For Dogs: Protect Your Pooch

Many shrubs, trees, and flowers commonly found in the garden and in the wild are dangerous if your dog eats them. Here are the poisonous plants for dogs.

There are indoor and outdoor plants that are toxic.

Thank you!! She isn’t vomiting or having diarrhea so I don’t think she ate anything....we also haven’t changed anything with cleaners or treats/food. Maybe a bite. Could an allergy be developed and cause a reaction that sudden? So baffling to me.

Does she sleep on a bed or towel or blanket that you wash with scented detergent? She may be reacting to that (since it came back). Or grass, if it came back after she was outdoors. My dog had a very similar reaction when we stayed in a (cheap) hotel one time and she was playing on the hotel bed with her dog pal. Her eyes got swollen up, too. We figured out really quickly that it was whatever they used to disinfect or clean the bed spread, so we just removed it fully from the bed and balled it up and put it in the corner.

I also have really sensitive skin and break out in hives/itchy skin if I use scented detergent! I’ve used All free and clear for years now! But that’s a good idea. I will keep that in mind if it happens again somewhere else.

Looks like an allergic reaction. My puppy ate a bee (which stung the inside of his mouth) and he swelled up like that within minutes.

Give benadryl. 1mg per pound of body weight. (Each pill is 20 mg.) Dogs take much more benadryl than humans do. The dose for an adult male is 4 pills.

Thank you! I’ve been giving her a dose about every 8 hours. The skin around her eyes are still pink but they went down again. I’m going to guess they’ll swell again tonight. I’m kind of hoping it is a bug bite or sting so it’s not something she keeps coming in contact with. 😬

how is Willow doing?

Thank you for asking! She’s doing better today—still a little pink around her eyes but I don’t see any more swelling.
