Hi my dog has an infection around his eyes that appeared out of nowhere and his eyes are swollen. And he has a swelling at the top of his penis. And as i was petting him I realized that he had three ball like feeling things in his throat. All of these appeared overnight. What could this be?

This could be an allergic reaction, even though slightly atypical. An immediate check up would be required to confirm this clinical suspicion and treat appropriately (it is likely that steroids will be required).
