Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bruno. I recommend that you seek emergency veterinary care. A swollen face can be a sign of an allergic reaction such as an insect bite or sting. If this is the case, it requires prompt treatment. If the swelling progresses, it can interfere with his ability to breathe. I hope this information helps!
