    His face is swollen due to a reaction from a bee or insect bite, or being fed allergenic ingredients like beef wheat and corn. These ingredients are present in food, treats, and steak, hamburger etc. Becuse he is nauseous I suspect dad gave him beef or a snack that he reacted to. You can use benedryl or claritin/loraditine 1/2pill 2 x daily for a couple days for the swelling and pepsid 1/2 pill 1x daily for 2-3 days for nausea.

    Some dogs with ear, skin, stomach, and bowel problems need different ingredients and healthy oils to solve their medical problems. Also you can check out Dr.Gregs diet tips at gilroyvet.com
