    Should I be concerned

    I let Daisy chew on a rawhide tonight- she got about half way through and started the whining thing she does sometimes. She whines sometimes when chewing rawhides and sometimes other toys. She has since I got her so the behavior is nothing new. I really don't give her rawhides much but it was raining so I did a walk instead of the dog park. After she whined, I took it away and I noticed her lip looked a little swollen on one side. Could that be from chewing? Or is it something else? I tried to take a picture.

    It is quite likely that she bit her lip while she was chewing on it. I don't feel rawhides anymore, but when I did, my dogs were aggressive with them and chewed them until their gums bled. If she just bit it, it'll be back to normal in the morning.

    This happens to Murphy at times after chewing on antlers and some bones. Heals within a day usually.

    If I am sore I generally give it a day or two, then if still sore go to the doc. Using the same logc with my kids and fur kids has served me well.
