Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Maggie! It's hard to see the swelling in your picture, but based on your description it does sound as if Maggie is experiencing an allergic reaction. Read our article on Benadryl and if she is not improve take her to the Vet when they open. Most of the time allergic reactions like Maggie's require steroids as well. I hope this helps and I wish Maggie a speedy recovery! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
