On Monday I noticed the area around his left and right eye, he outer crease in each side is really dry, so much so that it's like a scab with blood underneath. I also noticed similar on his nose this am. I put some coconut oil on it to help with the dryness. This am when he went outside he dry heaved and some bile came out.
Could this be related to the shot? Should I take him back to the vet or try charcoal or something else? I gave him some slippery elm gruel for the tummy upset.

The wonderful Theresa from Minneapolis, MN has been helping pet owners and their beloved pets around the world on Earth Clinic since 2013.
About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

In my experience dogs to not vomit bile unless they have been vomiting for some time, ie their stomach is past empty so all that can come up is bile. Has your dog also had loose stools? Has he continued to vomit? He may have picked up a giardia bug. The slippery elm should help with that, along with activated charcoal.
Please report back!

It could be allergies - they can develop at any time, and it could be a coincidence that the swelling, caused by a suspected sting, preceded the bouts of sneezing. I can understand congestion after taking a nap or lying down causing sneezing upon rising if you have allergies. That said, if this persists, and particularly if you see pigmented discharge [anything other than water clear] I'd want to scope up the nose to check for foreign bodies or nasal tumors. The swelling was treated only with the cortisone and benadryl and went down? If not, if it comes back, I would suspect a bad tooth. If it does prove to be allergies then you might consider upgrading the groceries and alkalizing the drinking water. Please report back!

And possibly the cortisone shot weakened his immune system and caused the sneezing. Giving him raw honey which seems to help too.
I can do alkaline water but what do you mean by upgrading the groceries? Food? I've had him on Instinct raw (poop too hard caused butt sores)and now it's Zignature Kangaroo and Natural Balance Sweet Potato Venison, good poop.
Yes the swelling went down with only the Cort and Ben shots. Within a couple hrs last Saturday.
Thanks again for your insight and advice.
