Ok my Dog ( Red healer German Shepperd mix) has a swollen eye and swollen lips and is limping what should we do? and what do you think why that happened ??My dogs eye is swollen, has swollen lips and is limping what should we do?
It could have gotten stung by a bee..or have you checked to see if a snake bit it?My dogs eye is swollen, has swollen lips and is limping what should we do?
This definitely sounds like an allergic reaction to something. Most likely he has been bitten by something in the leg. Get to the Emergency clinic or Vets office as soon as possible. The worst thing that could happen is his airways could begin to narrow due to the reaction. The Vet will most likely give him a shot of an antihistamine and a steroid. This is a true emergency. Good luck and I hope your dog feels better
Is he an outside dog? He may have been stung by a bee or wasp or bit by a snake. You can give him two (diphenhydramine) benadryl. MOST of the thime at worst it will make him sleepy. But if you are really worried take him to the vet, this would be the best thing to do.

I would take him to the vet. They could tell you what happened to your dog, and what to do to fix it.





Best of luck!
It could have gotten into something outside, got into a fight with another dog or cat, or got bit by a snake. Go to the vet.
GO TO THE VET!
