Oh man. I'm glad he's doing better! My dog bot stung by something (or bitten?) and became lethargic to the point we thought he was in a coma. My (dumb) mom didn't want to take him to the vet and she was just holding him and about 20 minutes later he perked up fast and got down and got a HUGE drink of water. I mean he was drinking water for what had to be minutes. After that he was okay. I think we should have an epi pen for him becuase he's gotten bitten or stung now 3 times this year. Never had a problem during the past 2 years so I don't know what's up with that. But the first time he was stung he wouldnt walk on his paw so we took him to the vet. They gave him epinephrin, benedryl and steroids. second time we didnt take him to the vet (just discussed above) and the third time which just happened about a week ago, we gave him benedryl immediately and he was licking his sore leg all the rest of the day and night. But he was walking on his leg fine the next morning. So we were lucky that time.
If in doubt, always take them to the vet or emergency hospital if possible. I've learned my lesson.
