Swelling around your dog's genital area can arise from several causes, such as an allergic reaction, an insect bite, or even an infection. Additionally, trauma or irritation to the area might also lead to swelling.

At home, you can begin by gently examining the area to check for any obvious signs of injury or irritation, being careful not to cause your dog any discomfort. Cleaning the area with a mild antiseptic solution can help ensure it's free from potential irritants. If you suspect an allergic reaction, consider any recent changes in your dog's environment or diet that might have triggered it.

Keep a close eye on the swelling over the next few days. If it doesn't improve, or if you notice additional symptoms like redness, discharge, or if your dog appears to be in pain, it would be advisable to consult a veterinarian for a more thorough examination.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
