Jo got bit by fire ants shortly after we moved into our new house...his little face swelled up to about 3 times it's normal size within about a minute. I knew Benadryl would help but then I got scared because he got bit on the face and I was afraid it might make his throat swell from a reaction or something so we rushed him to the vet. He gave him a shot of something and a shot of Benadryl and the swelling went away almost immediately. He said the next time it happened just give him the Benadryl and he would be fine. Since then we decided to have a fenced, concrete patio put in for him and Riley so we don't have to worry about the ants and we watch them very close when we go for walks. |
