This sounds like a reaction like a bee sting. Can you send a picture?
Ok did it just happen all of the sudden or was it gradual
OK send the pic if you can
He is so handsome! I have boxers so I love the smoosh faced dogs. Well this can be an allergic reaction. Benadryl can help that. It typically comes in 25mg tablets and the dose is 1mg/lb (or as close as possible. This can be repeated up to every 8 hours.
If ever he is having a hard time breathing I would take him to a vet to be evaluated.
30-45 min
1 tablet of 25mg is fine
Good thats why Im recommending benadryl rather than going to an er vet
not a bad idea
You are very welcome. Good luck! It was a pleasure to work with you.
If in the event you have any follow up questions please feel free to reach out to me.
