Sorry all, I forgot to update this to let you know what we found out.

first we took him to the vet and come to find out we weren't giving him enough benadryl. We were giving him enough for say, Memphis. I felt so guilty, I just didn't want to over dose him. Vet said to give him one adult benadryl every 4 hours. Said he had multiple small bites on his muzzle. Thought it was either earwigs (EWWWWWW) or ants.

So I was out in the yard picking up poo and sticks getting ready to mow and I found an area of my yard that is full of ant hills. I stepped on the hills ( I know Im mean) and before too long the little ***tards were biting me. We figure that when Recon was out on his last night patrol of the yard before bed he must have gotten into the ants and we didn't notice anything and the full affect of them was when we got up in the morning.

I bought some spray and sprayed the yard for them. So hopefully no more problems. Recon is himself again. In fact him and I did a fundraiser for the local rottie rescue that I deal with here today. It was a 10k run/walk with your dog.
