Yesterday, when I left for work he was fine when I came home his nose was swollen and he didn't want to eat but did. He and the other dogs have access through their dog door to the backyard that is fenced as well as their own room in the house when I'm at work.
The nose appears to be swollen on one side and there is running of the nose and some sneezing. I gave him a benydrl last night and he seemed to rest easier. Do you think it could be a bug bit...there are numberous bees and wasps outside. I didn't see any puncture at the sight. He finally ate for fear the other dogs would eat his food but was resting most of the time. What should I do to care for him and how long can I wait before I take him to the Vet.

Hi
You were right to give the dog antihistamine, this can be repeated 12 hours late if the swelling has not disappeared.
It sounds like a bee or wasp sting to me, if it is still swollen then please attach a photo to your response.
