Need info about my boxer

Question
I came home from work today and noticed that my 10 week old boxer had got into the bread. How her body is swollen even her paws and eyes. She is starting to get hives on her head. Will she be ok and what can I do for her

Answer
Sincere apologies for the delay.  

As with humans, dogs can also have food allergies and this sounds to be an allergic reaction.  While the hives and swelling will subside on their own such reactions can be aided with Benadryl.  For any future occurrences you could have some handy.  However at her young age she will be changing weight very quickly so you would need to contact your veterinarian with her present weight for them to be able to suggest an appropriate dose.

Again apologies for the delay.
