My pet has a sudden, severe allergic reaction with facial swelling and hives. What now?

[]

Answer

This is a serious allergic reaction, potentially life-threatening if it progresses to affect breathing. While it may not always be an emergency, facial swelling and hives can quickly worsen. Your pet needs immediate veterinary attention to determine the cause and administer appropriate medications, such as antihistamines or corticosteroids. Do not attempt to treat this at home. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
