Get the puppy to a different vet. They have medicine that will take the swelling down, do it now!!!

Take the dog to a different vet...he may need an x-ray...anything could be happening to a tiny puppy's head...
Chose another vet, or call the PDSA soon for advice:::

Cold compress. I hope your little puppy is OK. I also hope your neighbours have offered to pay for vets bill. Your vet should have a 24 hour phone number ask him how to get swelling down as you are really worried!!

Run to another vet. Your vet is crazy. The swelling in the head puts pressure on the brain which will kill it if left alone!

Keep the puppy in a cool place and then all you can do is wait. If the vet isn't concerned there probably isn't too much you can do, but give it time to heal on it's own.

Take her to an emergency vet clinic.. I cant believe your vet doesnt want to see her..change doctors, a swollen head is a bad thing....

has your vet seen him? if not and he doesn't want to see him i think i would get a new vet. If he is swollen he must have some kind of trauma. I would at least call an pet er and get a second opinion, they never hurt.

like any time you have a swollen anything...put ice on it...try a bag of frozen peas since they are smaller and can form to your puppies head. sounds like a doozie though...i would call another vet and get a second opinion

Call the vet back and ask. He may have you give the dog aspirin.
