Swollen face!!

i've just came home to discover my poor wee pup with swollen lumps all over her face! she has a few at the top of both her eyes, quite a big one on her snout and a few round her mouth!
I was going to give her a piriton because i've read on other post this is good for taking the swelling down?
Should i take her to the vet or see if the piriton works first?
I'm also not sure what has caused it.....i did read about someone else's dog having a bad reaction to a stag bar and i got Diesel her first one on sunday and shes been chewing away on it since so thought it was a bit strange that it would take this long to take a reaction?
She seems totally fine, her usual happy hyper self and doesnt seem to have the swelling anywhere else, i've taken her stag bar away just in case its that...

The piritin may work. As long as she is breathing normally it should be okay to wait. I would call the vet and ask their opinion to be safe.

yeah defo breathing fine, she sitting chewing away on her nylabone quite the thing. i just gave her a piritin so we'll see how that goes...
how many and often should i give her one?

her boomer ball couldn't have caused it ay? i wouldnt have thought....

Probally not from the boomer ball or there would be cuts and abrasions. I'm not sure on the pririon dosage or how often to use it. Should be someone smater than me on the subject on line soon.

you can give piriton once a day ....a whole one

Thanks! Her face has went down a wee bit now. So ill keep an eye on it.
still dont know whats caused it though which am quite worried about

Sorry I cant help, but the fact that she seem fine in herself is a good postive thing.

Aye shes a tough we cookie tho, had a huge golf ball sized abscess at the back of her jaw/under her ear a few months ago an she was still her bouncy usual self

sounds like an allergic reaction and no I wouldn't think it was the stag bar that caused this. Sound more like an insect bite/sting or possibly a plant?

I've noticed there are still quite a few insects about even though * so late in the year , was getting rid of wasps yesterday

maybe a bite then, she was fine when I left for work and shes only allowed in the.hall an kitchen when am out and theres nothing there that would cause a reaction....
just thought stag bar as someone else posted on here to say stag bar had made their dogs face swell
