re: Vet advice- dog face swollen up

I had a cocker that this would happen to every summer, sometimes 5 or 6 times. This dog was a retrieving fool. He would carry a tennis ball around in his mouth. We could not believe he was getting snakebit constantly. One day I saw him playing with something out the window at dusk one evening. I went to see what he was doing and he spit out a half crippled toad. Sure enough, about 20 minutes later, his lips were all swollen up. We thought about sending the little fricker to rehab.
