Lilac had some mild swelling on her face. Thinking nothing of it, maybe a tooth abscess, we contacted our vet, and she was started on antibiotics. Well, five days later and she had a watermelon head! So, our vet came out to do X-rays. Turns out, not an abscess, but a fractured cheekbone!. Didn't see that coming but she is a diva and an instigator. Not surprised. Glad she is okay, the swelling has gone down significantly, and she is on the mend.
