Thank you, Hollyhock! I was going to write in with the same suggestion to check for foxtails. This was a well-known issue for dogs when I lived in CA.

Hi Hollyhock,

My dog had foxtails and fortunately the vet was experienced enough to know to look for them. He removed them and life was good for my dog again! They just work their way in and the part you would be able to see on the outside usually breaks off, so there is no apparent indication of a cause for the swelling.
