I have an 8-month-old lab whose right side of the face and under the jaw swelled 5 days ago. The swelling is not getting better and seems to be getting worse. He looks like he has a baseball in his throat, and the swelling is very hard. He was treated with Benadryl, a steroid injection, and an antibiotic injection, and later with Remadyl. The vet did X-rays and an aspiration, but found nothing significant. What could be causing the swelling, and what should I do next?

My dog has diarrhea and vomited twice. How can I tell if he is dehydrated?

I have two 4lb Chihuahuas (ages 2 & 3) that were originally eating Blue Buffalo grain-free for small dogs but frequently vomited. My vet suggested switching to WD prescription food, which stopped the vomiting. However, their poop has become dry and crumbly with undigested food, likely due to the larger kibble size and difficulty chewing, especially for my dog with incomplete adult teeth. Should this concern me?
