Answer 1

Could be from a number of different things, bites, Allergies and more. The best thing is to take your dog to a vet. It could be something that ends up causing the dogs throat to swell and prevent them from breathing.

Answer 2

There are several possibilities. One would be insect envenomation, such as a snake bite, spider bite or bee/wasp/hornet sting. Another would be an infected, abscessed or damaged tooth. There could be a broken bone in the muzzle, a hematoma or bruise, or other trauma. It could be a sinus or nasal infection, or a tumor in either location.

If your dog appears troubled by the swelling, or it persists for longer than 48 hours, it would probably be a good idea to take your dog to the veterinarian for an examination.

Answer 3

There are many things that can cause facial swelling. Some of the easiest to handle are simple insect bites and stings, which are common in dogs in the warmer months who are out exploring the environment. Other causes range from infection, such as from an abscessed tooth, to cancer, such as oral melanoma. Depending upon the location and how quickly the swelling showed up, there are a lot of other options too.

I would suggest that you have a veterinarian examine the swelling, particularly if it is around the nose or eyes.

Answer 4

There are many potential causes, ranging from trauma (such as a broken jaw bone or a bruise) to infection to cancer.

Answer 5

The dog could have an injury to the muscle or bone of the cheek. This can also be a sign of an abscessed tooth root. Finally, there are lymph nodes in the area that can also become enlarged; these often sign inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, but they can also swell due to cancer.

You should take your dog to a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause.
