I would not think it is a food related allergy but more likely
A sting or bite of some sort. I would give 2 Benaryl 2x a day and see if you can get that swelling down. Watch his breathing carefully, his airway could close up with facial swelling if it gets down into his neck.

Look - at the pic finally put it in.... lol

sorry I forgot to put the pic in
LOL! Ok, I thought the Wink pic was swelling!!!
Sorry!! Sheesh, I need sleep!!!
No, that might be a hot spot starting up. A little gold listerine (the original, old fashioned kind) might clear that up. Others will know better than me, and there is also a recent post on the medical forum I think about hot spot treatment.
Good luck:-)

That's what dozer gets when
That's what dozer gets when he has an allergic tearoom to the food he eats... He's been on the prescription food, but when he eta harleys he breaks out really bad,, I have to separate them into different rooms now when feed him ;(, I have medicated Iowa for when that happens, good luck

I use
Animax from Vet,or I also use Vet's best hotspot spray / with tea tree oil...got that at Petco fairly cheap
Brother got a spot on his front leg, round and swelled...a Misquito bite maybe, but it swelled and all the hair came off but it dried right up with one application of animax, Don't touch the tip of tube to wound cause of germs.
His collar pulled his hair and made a place and I used it there too.

Mean people still suck
Vet's Best is really good.
So is Calm Coat. That stuff worked wonders on my German Shep girl. Either one can be purchased at Petsmart I believe. Calm Coat may need to be purchased at a feed store if you have one near you.

soooo hot spot from food allergy? It's on both his front legs &
Looks like his two front legs
Looks like his two front legs must have come into contact with something that caused that reaction. I would just wash them well with an antibacterial cleanser and wait to see if it gets any worse.
well thank god he see's the vet wed..... can't wait!
