Poor Jett! I'm worried that she is having some kind of allergic reaction. I would recommend having her seen by your vet as soon as possible. She probably needs some antihistamines and maybe some steroids for the redness and swelling. Since I see that you are in the UK, I'm worried that your vet may no longer be open. If they have previously given you a recommendation for an antihistamine like Benadryl, you could certainly give that tonight, but I wouldn't give it if your vet hasn't given you a dose for Jett previously. If Jett is having any swelling involving her face, or any problems swallowing or breathing, please take her to a vet immediately.
