Burch, sure hoping things work out for Murphy. I was thinking insect bite, but the continued swelling like that could indicate a tooth. My Doberman had both those things happen to her in her lifetime. An absessed tooth is no fun for people or pets. At least the vet should be able to give her something for the pain. Hoping he is able to help her.

Murphy has surgery tomorrow for an absessed tooth. The poor thing. Her cheek is really puffed out and she has puss coming out of her cheek. I thought I was going to have to wait until Thursday but the vet didn't want her to be in that much discomfort for the next couple of days so he is able to get her in tomorrow. She had the same issue 7 years ago on her left cheek. I just worry about her being put under since she is old but she is a feisty old dog. She still acts like she is two. She wanted her treat when I came home to take her to the vet and was running around all happy to see me.
