| Stung by a bee Ella was outside this morning and she was stung by a bee on her front leg/paw (the bee was on the ground when I saw it, but I didn't see where it got her). She yelped and started running with her leg in the air. I called the vet and am waiting for a return call, but what can I do for her in the meantime? She's walking around, but she's favoring that leg and will hold it in the air when she's still. I looked for the stinger, but I can't see it.

| Update She's running around, acting like normal. The vet said that they don't often see the allergic reaction to bee stings that people suffer from, and to just make sure she was breathing and eating normally. Ella's leg isn't even swollen, so we don't have to use Children's Benadryl.

| That happened to my Ollie once, he came screaming into the house crying so loud. I wouldn't have known what was wrong, but I found the bee in the fur on his leg. It's frightening. Glad your baby is ok.
