Re: Swollen Muzzle...

If you think this is allergic in origin, I'd do Benadryl. The ones on his legs may be itchy to him also. Benadryl may stop the swelling on his muzzle. I use one 25 mg. tablet for my 95 lb. girl and it works but they say you can do 50 mg. I hesitate to use Ibuprofen for any animals-IF I need a little pain medicine, I use a baby aspirin. Ibupro. isn't going to help with allergic reactions and Benadryl won't hurt (he'll get sleepy!). This is a people nurse talking but believe me, I've studied what to give my dogs when ailments pop up!
