CE - I received another message from my friend of what to look for. If you have any house plants that the little guy got into, it could have caused an allergic reaction as well.

Good luck

Well, we gave him the Benadryl, it was children's benadryl (that's all they had) so it may not have been strong enough.

After he got it down, the swelling still hasn't gone down any. We gave him a cool bath, but if anything, it looks like his face (especially around his eyes) are more swollen.

The only house plants we have are bamboo and an orchid. The orchid is in a window seal about 5 feet off the floor, so I know he didn't get into that. The bamboo is on top of a bookshelf, so again, he didn't get into that either. There are some bushes outside, but they are just some standard-issue bushes and have never caused problems before.

I've Google'd a little, and most sites seem to say that a bug bite or spider bite commonly causes this type of reaction, but I have not seen any bugs recently, since we're just coming out of winter.

I'm not sure what to do. He's constantly trying to scratch or rub his head on the carpet. Hopefully, the swelling will have gone down in the morning. If not, I'll be calling the vet and hoping they can set up payment plans.
