Contributions of two-pseudoscalar and vector-pseudoscalar meson loops to the rho-omega mass splitting are evaluated in a covariant model based on studies of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of QCD. The role and importance of the different time orderings of the meson loops is analyzed and compared with those obtained within time-ordered perturbation theory. It is shown that each meson loop contributes less than 10% of the bare mass, and decreases as the masses of the intermediate mesons increase beyond approximately m_rho/2. A mass splitting of m_omega - m_rho ~= 25 MeV is obtained from the pi pi, K K(bar), omega pi, rho pi, omega eta, rho eta and K* K channels. The model is then used to determine the effect of the two-pion loop on the rho-meson electromagnetic form factor. It is shown that the inclusion of pion loops increases the rho-meson charge radius by 10%.
