My daughter had this happen to her boxer, twice. It was from a bee bite. But wouldn't think you would have that this time of the year, unless you are in warm climate.
Happened to each of my white boxers, one was from shot allergic reaction, the other was from rattlesnake bite. But of course, that isn't your problem.
Keep us posted.
Wednesday night I came home from work all three boxers were fine. I put them out, brought them in, i was running a little late so I fed them, usually we walk first. I sat on the couch for a bit reading. Gemini was laying at my feet as usual. She jumped up,ran upstairs and right back down. Not at all normal for. A little later I got up to get some tea. She got up to follow me also as usual. I looked at her and her eyes were both swollen shut. She couldn't even see. I called my daughter to come and drive us to the emergency vet and asked her to bring my grandsons saline for his contacts. I called the vet and asked what I could do until I could get her there. By the time my daughter got here Gemini's face looked like a basketball and was just as hard. Poor thing. She was beginning to breath funny through her mouth. I figured it was an allergic reaction to something. Vet took her right in. They gave her IV Benadryl and steroids. After a while her face started to go down and I took her home. Vet said when she came in she looked like an elephant seal, and he was right. He said to keep giving her the benadyl 3 at a time for at least a day every 8 hours. She looks fine now. But I am worried because I don't know what caused it. Nothing ws different, no new food, no new treats I can't prevent it I don't know what caused itNanaLiterature is my utopia,
