yesterday around 4 in the afternoon i noticed my puppies left side of her mouth was swollen i just thought the other dogs played to rough with her or something, she went to sleep for about two hours and it looked like the swelling went down but then it looked like it moved to the top of her nose. about two hours passed then i noticed her right eye starting to get swollen then eventually both her eyes then her ears, and she threw up twice. shes acting like herself all happy and eating normal. but we stayed up with her all night just in case, i noticed she was rubbing her butt on the floor so i lifted her tail and it was kinda red and a lil swollen, its now been about 14 hours, we have been g iving her benadryl every 6 hours and the swelling went down she only puked after the first couple hours of the swelling. now im not sure if this is an allergic reaction to some kind of food, a plant she ate, or if hse got stung by something, she seems to be doing alot better now, should i still be worried? alot of time has passed but its like having a kid im still worried, if anyone could help in anyway i would be so greatful, or if you have any other questions let me know thanks alot in advance

You need to get this guy to a vet and make sure that you inform him of you giving the benadryl.... This is not a good situation to administer this unadvised, since it is a for human use. And there may be other issues that we on the forums can not see since we are not trained or can not examine him.

You may want to post this in the Dog Dish forum for better ideas...

But still a vets input is the best for your little guy.

Good Luck and keep us in the know.

Good deal, the vet is best, and the frequent posters here all agree that information is good but a professional opinon is best.
P.S.
