I haven't posted in a long time but after what happened to Shelby this week, I wanted to warn all of you. I had heard of this before, so I knew what was happening. Fortunately, I have a Vet Hospital 2 min. from my house. It happened so fast (10 min.) there wasn't time for Benedryl. I didn't even have time to find the sting! I just saw a bee walking on the fur of her back hip while we were on a walk. She was acting strange so I took her home. I put her on the counter to check things out and within minutes I was losing her. She stopped breathing and barely had a heartbeat.

I have to find a way to carry a bee sting kit for a little dog. EpiPens are for kids over 20 lbs. If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. I won't even let her outside unless I know that Vet is open! (One more reason I am glad she is potty pad trained)

I hope this never happens to any of you, but it is good to know about just in case.

Shelby is 2 1/2, 4.5 lbs. and hasn't been sick a day in her life.
