| I just gave her 1/4 of a tablet. I put some ice on her paw. She seems ok.

| Oh no, poor Tina! I'm glad she is doing well. Did she yelp? Or, how did you know she was stung? We think out Teddy was stung by a hornet recently. Ended up causing stomach cramps and hives on half his body. Scary, but not as scary as breathing problems that can result from stings. Sending gentle hugs to your baby girl.

| Thanks, Kristin. I called Tina to come in the house and she came running toward me. She climbed up a couple of steps, then stopped and I saw her moving her head around like she does when she is trying to catch a bug. Then she jumped down the steps limping. I looked on the step and there was a dead bee laying on the step right where she stopped. It was a freak accident that she stepped right on top of it. I called her foster mom who had told me call her any time. I felt so awful telling her Tina got hurt here. Today is her three week anniversary of being with us and already sweet little girl got hurt. Kim said I did everything perfect. Tina is just holding her paw up and licking it. We looked and looked for a stinger but couldn't find anything. We didn't know if the stinger is white or black or what. But we couldn't find anything.

| That's the right dosage. Usually 1mg per pound. So most are 25mg which is the dosage for a 25lb dog. 1/2 would be for a 12 lb dog and 1/4 for a 6 lb. I hope she does well just keep an eye on her the Benadryl may make her a little sleepy.

| Baby girl is sleeping now with her other paw on top of her little brother to make sure he doesn't leave. I hope she feels better when she wakes up.

| What brand pill form do you use? I have used the liquid children's form, but I would rather not because of the flavorings.

| Great news! After her nap she was fine. Walking on her paw with no problem. Running outside like normal. Gosh these little guys will worry you silly.

| It's just a pink box that says Benadryl 25 mg.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | The dose is 1-2mg/lb of body weight. With a sting, I *always* do the higher dose of course. I also keep the liquid Benadryl on hand in case unable to give the pill.

| I couldn't figure out how to get her to take the pill at first. Tried peanut butter but she was confused by it and didnt want to try it. I hid it in a little of her canned food and she licked it off hubby's hand. Maybe I should try the liquid. I wonder if there is an unflavored version available?
