Poor pup!Hope he's ok.
My first guess would be a bite that's gotten infected.

Poor Jasper
Please let us know what the vet says.
It could be anything--- a infected bite or scratch, an ingrown whisker
Only the vet will know for sure. Good luck,to you and Jasper

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
I agree it sounds like a bite that has gotten infected. A friends dogs head recently swelled up and the vet said it was an allergy to a wasp sting. This would not explain the blood though. It sounds like a bite from another dog. Please take our dog to the vet ASAP and let us know how he is
