Here you go ...I just googled what to do - it has TWO scenarios ....first being the worst reaction. I've done the meat tenderizer on my own self and it DOES work - GOOD LUCK !!!

Possible allergic reaction - get veterinary help immediately

- has difficulty breathing
- has difficulty swallowing
- hyperactivity such as barking possibly followed by fainting. Bee sting reactions can sometimes mimic seizures.
- swelling spreads beyond the sting area

2. No allergic reaction

- Remove the stinger. Scrape the visible portion with a card, fingernail or other thin and rigid object. Pulling on the stinger could cause it to break or even push more venom into the skin.

- If you cannot reach the stinger, leave it as it should eventually be shed.

- Place some meat tenderizer into a bowl with a small amount of water and mix it into a paste. Apply this to neutralize the venom which will help relieve pain and swelling. Keep it on for at least 30 minutes. You may have to wrap gauze or cloth around the area to prevent licking. Afterwards, you can simply rinse it off.
- Alternatively, you can place an ice cube on the site for a few minutes to relieve the pain.
