Here's Pooka last night at around 1AM (she looks miserable cuz I just woke her up and she's REALLY drowsy). It has moved to the other side of her face.

I gave her another half of a Benadryl and put her in her crate for the night.

At around 4AM, I woke up to continue studying for my test. She looked about the same, and though I opened the crate, she stayed in there (even after I left for school at 8:45). BUT! by 6AM, when I checked on her, it had really really gone down and it made studying easier as I was now at ease.

I'm now back from my test and we've been playing all day and here's what she looks like now:

(I took it from this angle to show you that she has a few swollen bumps, and you can see one on her forehead.)

In internet searching, realized there isn't much info on people's actual experiences with a swollen face reaction. Its always just a question "What do I do?" and an answer about figuring out cause, giving benadryl and going to vet if needed.

So I started getting worried that this was lasting 24 hours. How much longer would I have to keep giving her Benadryl, when would it stop coming back? if it was more than a day, did that mean is was serious? No one talked about how long it lasted.

Hopefully, we have cut out all contact with the pesticide (I put my clothes in the wash, the shoes are up, and I need to mop. We take her down the street for potty) and I might just have to call the company and ask how quickly it degrades.

I'm now letting her be in contact with the cat to see if it was the cat's flea treatment.
