My dog suddenly has a swelling on his face near his eye. It seems painful.

[]

Answer

Facial swelling, especially if painful, can indicate several issues ranging from an allergic reaction (like a bee sting) to an abscessed tooth root, or even a localized infection. It's important to have a veterinarian examine it promptly to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment. Allergic reactions can sometimes progress to be more severe. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
