I accidentally slammed the door on my Havanese female dog, it’s been like few days now and things seem to have worsen. Day 1, she whimpered when it happened then shocked it off. Day 2, i would pet her in the wrong place on her head and she would cry, but only thought maybe she was sore. Day 3, she had an epileptic attack, but nothing new because she has epilepsy. Day 4, she seemed to be really uncomfortable. Didn’t want to eat dinner. Day 5, she woke up w/ one eye droopy & side of face swollen.

Since this is still going on and not getting better, you need to take her to the vet as soon as possible. There are a number of injuries she could have, including fractures to her head or neck that are likely responsible for the pain and the droopy face and swelling. She could have a broken or displaced jaw that causes pain, making her reluctant to eat. This doesn't seem to be improving so she needs medical attention right away. Your vet will do an exam, x-rays, possibly additional labwork, and based on these results, will be better able to tell you what is going on and how best to treat it.
