Attention Dogs! Don't Stick your Nose Where It Doesn't Belong

Apparently there is something nasty lurking in the rocks in our backyard.  Furgie has been investigating and today she paid the price.  Not sure if it was yellow jackets or spiders, but something nailed her hard this morning.  She had 2 huge swell ups in the last couple of days on her nose and her jowels, but they went away after a few hours.

This on the other hand... I have never seen anything like this.   Apparently the vet hadn't either because he walked in and exclaimed "OH MY GOD!!!" upon seeing her face.  It was a little bit scary as she was having trouble breathing from the swelling but she got some shots and is passing out now.

Check the pics and video below for the horror.

What Furgie looks like on a normal day...

Furgie at Breakfast time today... not too bad, just looked like she took a left hook.

2 hours later at the vet, her eyes were completely shut and her head was literally 3x its normal size. 

Every dog's worst nightmare... The Cone of Shame.

Taking a picture of a black dog who is freaking out and trying to scratch her face off was kind of difficult, the pics don't really do this justice.  I made a quick video which you can see a little more clearly how F'd up this is.

She's doing ok now, passed out from the shots the vet gave her.  However, I just spent an hour combing through every rock in our backyard and couldn't find a thing.  So whatever did this to her is still out there, and I'm sure like a good lab she'll learn her lesson and go right back to it again. :\
