Pet's info: Dog | Border Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 1 month old
Hello. My 2 year old terrier has developed a swelling in her throat on one side, in her gland underneath her jaw/ear. She was biten yesterday by an insect and had an allergic reaction and swelling on her mouth on the same side. Could this be to do with this?

Yes, it's possible this could be related to the insect bite and subsequent allergic reaction. Without seeing Lilly in person, however, I can't say for certain. Given that she has recently experienced an allergic reaction and now has a swelling, a visit to the vet is recommended. I would take her into the vet today to get this examined and treated. Best of luck.
