Maybe it was caused by a sting or insect bite???

 

i would say an insect bite as well or did she fall or hit her face at all ? when i was a child we had a rotti , we were playing cricket and he ran straight over to the batter when the ball was thrown and got hit in the face , his muzzle started to swell , we gave him ice to chew on and by the time we got to the vet it had gone down which was probably around 1 1/2 hours after it happened , so maybe she has hurt herself somehow ?

 

i would say a sting or bite, one of ours got stung years ago and her face swelled up.

 

I have heard of chis having chicken allergies but I am thinking more of bug bite of some sort. Have you given Benadryl yet? 2mg per lb.

 

It sounds like it was most likely a big bite. I would go ahead and give her some benadryl like Zoey's Mom said, and it is 2mg/lb on the dosage. If that doesn't help at all then I would try and find another vet that is in town to take a look at her. Typically a vet will leave another vet's information behind in case of emergencies when he/she is out of town.

Good luck, and let us know how it works out!

 

It does sound like an allergy to a bite as my horses often get swellings where they have been bitten. As its gone down quite quickly that is a good thing..

I bet you were really worried.

 

Thanks alot Ladies for all the posts . I was soooo worried but She is completely normal now,No swelling and Her usual bouncy self.Thank Goodness

 

she posted that the swelling was gone now so I don't think benedryl would be necessary now but in the future you are able to give it if needed
