3 month old minifox X has facial swelling and rash, any home remidies or known causes?

We have a little mini fox cross puppy who has woken us up at 3am with swelling in her face (mainly noticable around the eyes) she was jumping and scratching at her neck and has a rash there as well as her stomach she is also twitching.





What could possibly cause this and what can we do to keep her happy and calm.

nobody really can answer this for you unfortunately.


you will really need to let a vet see the pup as she could have had contact with many things that cause us no harm but really irritate a puppy.


deisel , cosmetics or simple floor cleaner may be the cause but facial swelling may lead to respiratory problems.

This is an Allergic Reaction to something, you need to bring the dog to the vet! they will give her a shot of benedryl that will start bring the swelling down, they will probably have you give her more benedryl (in pill form) for a few days which will make her sleepy, but it is necessary to get her to the vet this swelling can close her airways, and a shot is the quickest way to reverse the swelling, they might have to do something to open the airways back up if it is already to swollen to wait until the meds come into effect. There are 24 hour emergency vets, I suggest you find the one closest to you and keep the number handy in case of more after hours emergencies.
Your best course of action would be to take your pup to your local vet who is best placed to examine the pup %26amp; determine what is the root cause of the skin irritation she is suffering from.





One of my Dobes recently had a very swollen muzzle which was an allergic reaction, treated by our vet.





Hope your pup is okay.
That's what is called a SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION!!! Anytime the face swells the throat may swell cutting off the dog's air supply which of course = DEATH. Go to the vet. AND learn about crate training, a 3 month old pup shouldn't have free run of the house or what has happened can/will happen again.
VET! Vet, vet, vet, vet, vet......
I have no idea what it is. If it were my dog we would be on the way to the vet.
