My dog Molly, who is around 8-10 years old, has a swollen face on the right side, just under her eye. She chased after something and the swelling appeared the next day. I tried applying ice but she wouldn't tolerate it. The swelling might be a little worse today. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?

When should I change my puppy’s dog food? My puppy is an English bulldog who is going to be 6 months old next month, he was 25 pounds the last time we took him to the vet and is likely around 30 pounds now. I noticed on his current dog food (Blue Buffalo puppy food, chicken and rice flavor) that it is only recommended for puppies up to 5 months. Should we be changing his food, and do you have any recommendations?
