I hate scorpions!
He is okay, I called my Regular Vet and ER vet - and they said he's okay. Gums are pink, gave benadryl, gave Nutrical. Not drooling, not shaking, no swelling.
Think he got stung on the right, forward, mouth - on the outside of the gum
. He kept sneezing super hard - over and over, held the right side of his mouth up so you could see his teeth, tail tucked, didn't want to close his mouth, scared - wanted to be held closely.
I hope the stinger isn't in there - I can't find anything. There is usually no swelling w/ scorpion bites, which is so weird to me - but it stops you from locating the exact bit site. Maybe venom/neurotoxins don't cause swelling?
Last year, my hubby ended up in the ER bc he is allergic to the venom - he was bit in the foot and became paralyzed from mid-chest onward, had severe nystagmus (when the eyeballs wiggle back and forth super fast), tingling all over, numbness, severe pain. Unforch, the hotline nurse told us to wait it out - so we didn't go to the ER until 3hrs later - at which point they won't give the anti-venom.
I'm rambling - but I HATE scorpions!
We have our house sprayed once a month and I don't know what else to do
. They can get thru anything, so there's nothing more we can seal. The bug guys are coming tomorrow to re-do our scorpion spray.
My poor baby
. Okay...I gotta go...Wylie needs his Mama. But I needed to vent.
