I’m not sure if my dog was bitten by a spider or if it is something else.

If it is a bug bite, the swelling should go down after a few hours. If it does not, I would be more worried about a skin tumor or an infection. Keep Scruffy from licking the area by having him wear an elizabethan collar at all times. Have him examined by the veterinarian if the swelling persists. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
