Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | unspayed | 11 years and 6 months old | 11.5 lbs
My 11 year old Jack Russell seems to have a swollen snout. It’s on the right side only and is worn bark at all and won’t let you touch it

Roxie may have gotten bitten or stung by something to cause that location reaction which can be painful. An infected tooth can also cause a swelling in the area. If she is eating and drinking well and acting normal otherwise, then keep her quiet tonight and have your vet check for dental disease tomorrow. If she is lethargic and the swelling gets worse, than I would have her check at an ER tonight
