Red and swollen around dog's mouth area
by Raquel Cuaron
(El Paso, Texas)
My dog has always been healthy except for allergies on her tummy. The vet has given her antihistamines before and Prednisone (one time only) and it did seem to help her, but now her mouth is swollen and she keeps on scratching it.
She is an inside dog, but lately she likes to go outside at nights to avoid the new puppy! We feed them Scince Diet and we live in a very very dry and hot weather. She is a 2.5 year old French Bulldog.
What should I do? Should we give her a few more days to see if it goes away? She's been like this for about three days now but today it really got worse.
