him back out and his jaws were swollen and his eyes were smaller. he was also inside when this happened. what happened.

also the same thing happened to my border collie when she was out side

Answer 1

I would get them both to the Vet IMMEDIATELY!!  This could be very serious.

Answer 2

take them to the vet the same thing happen to my dog and I got her to the vet just in time any longer then she would have died they need a vet soon like now.

Answer 3

It sounds like an allergic reaction. I would take him to the vet. This happened once to my golden retriever after she was playing outside. We think she got bit by a bug.

Answer 4

It sounds like your puppy (and border collie) have either both been bitten by a stinging insect (wasp, bee, ant) and are having reactions to the bite.   OR  Is there any chance that they have gotten into some sort of substance (poison, insect repellent, car oil, etc)???  

If your puppy has swelling around his jaws, this is a sign of a TRUE EMERGENCY, as his airway could also be swelling.  

This dog needs to be taken to the vet IMMEDIATELY just to be sure that he is not experencing a LIFE THREATENING reaction to some substance.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

It sounds like a allergic reaction to me. If you do give benadryl make sure you give the right amount according to how big or small your pup is.  

Answer 6

ALLERGIC REACTION HE NEEDS A CORTISON SHOT. MY DOG GOT BITE BY AN ANT AND SWELLED LIKE THAT.

Answer 7

This happens to my dogs occasionally.  It's just an allergic reaction.  It could be from a bee sting, ants, etc.  Don't worry about taking your dog to the vet, just give him half or .25 of a benadryl pill.  That's what the vet did for one of my dogs that I took, plus a steroid shot.  He told me to just give them benadryl if it happened again.
