So I've been away on holiday for the past 2 weeks (it was shit) and my dog was supposed to go to my sister's house, except at the last minute she changed her mind and booked the dog into a kennel for 2 weeks.
She's normally a very excitable dog, and a giant bundle of energy who flies around mad if I leave her alone for 10 minutes so I knew leaving her alone in a kennel for 2 weeks was going to be hard for her, I asked my sister to check in on her and if she wasn't adjusting I'd come home, I was only a few hundred miles away anyways. but that's beside the point, she's ignorant and didn't check on it.
This was rosie before

after 2 weeks my sister brought her home before I got there, and gave me a phone call telling me not to freak out but she's had some complications.
She locked the dog in a room for 4 hours before I got home and went to work which resulted in my dog losing 3 nails clawing at the door, which means she's now limping around feeling sorry for herself.
Anyways, there's a rash on her face that's caused her fur to fall out and she's scratched her nose until it's raw and a bit swollen

The man at the kennel told my sister it's a sign of stress, she's lost the fur and it's made her nose itchy hence the scratching. The rash isn't painful for her to the touch, does anyone have any ideas?
My plan is to wait 3 days and if she's not seeing definite signs of improvement I'm gonna take her to the vet, right now the only pain she's showing is with her 3 injured paws, which she's grumpily nursing, otherwise she's eating and sleeping and drinking fine.
In short; rash caused by stress or not? :S
