Double Yay!!
We had this happen to one of our dogs while hunting in northern Minnesota. We contacted our home vet who called and discussed the matter with a vet in Big Fork, MN. They concluded some sort of infection, and gave us antibiotics which worked just fine and cleared his large swelling in no time. But it was pretty scary, and your pup's situation was one I'd not like to go through.
So glad things have worked out. So many perils for the hard charging hunting dog, sometimes it seems overwhelming.
