Puffy Faces

So a few weeks ago I was at home on a rainy day. Jasper had been feeling a little sad inside (basically depressed). I didn't blame him since it was such a gloomy day out and he bask in the sun. He would never survive in Seattle. Anyways, I was in my Dad's office shredding lots of old papers for him. I went to get the vacuum to get the few strays left behind from when I emptied the basket. Jasper came out of hiding under his blankets upstairs to bark at his enemy the vacuum, when I noticed something different about his face. I chased after him in to my room to get a closer look. He kept pawing at his little face and wouldn't let me see. Finally once I pegged him down I realized his entire face was SWOLLEN like you wouldn't believe. I panicked hoping he wasn't going into anaphylatic shock. I quick grabbed him, shoved him in his carrier and drove to the closest vet. I felt like such a loser cause I was wearing a strapless dress with a sweatshirt over it and busted down the door saying "I NEED HELP MY DOGS FACE IS SWOLLEN". I kinda laugh about it now, but at the time I was devastated, I started crying in the waiting room. They took him in the back and put him on an I.V., gave him benedryl, and a steroid shot. I was able to take him home a few hours later. I took a picture of his face to kinda document what happened when I got him home. Its hard to tell but when I saw him it looked like he had a mouthful of acorns. Both sides of his face were swollen. In the picture it just looks like he has a huge tumor coming of the side of his face. But just imagine the size of that puffiness but all over his face. For some reason the swelling resolved on one side faster then the other. He is perfectly fine now. The vet said he had an allergic reaction to either a spider bite or a bee sting. Hopefully this won't happen again...ever!
