I agree.Is Maddie ok?? Last summer my mom was walking peanut in the grass and she said all of a sudden he cried and started to hold up his front leg..she picked him up and looked at his paw and notcied a wasp hanging off his foot!! I was on vacation at the river and my mom was watching him..she said his paw was getting a little swollen and she rushed him to the vet.. they took the stinger out gave him some benadryl and due to his weight the vet wanted to give him some fluids....$300.00 added to our vacation
But well worth it oh and they sent him home with a couple days of antibiotcs.
