Dog Facial Swelling: Causes and Treatment

(continued)

Can You Prevent Facial Swelling?

Some causes of facial swelling can be prevented and some cannot. Here are some suggestions for prevention and early detection of problems:

To reduce the chances your dog will deal with an abscess from a puncture wound, avoid giving your dog hard bones, and be sure to supervise all play with other dogs.
Have your pets checked by a veterinarian if you think they have allergies. As with people, preventing exposure to the allergen is often the best treatment.
To catch tumors early, examine your dog's mouth once a month. If you see swelling or a growth, or if your dog's mouth smells bad, talk to your veterinarian.
