One of my new owners, in spite of being cautioned time and again, NOT to let her baby run around outside in her ssecure back yard, unsupervised, she put the baby out alone, and then proceded to go get her cup of coffee and hit the commode....then she went to check on baby before she started to put on her makeup for work. Baby was no where to be seen....owner ran out to back yard, calling frantically, rounded the corner of the house, and saw her little girl, laying in an unresponsive heap, on top of a fire ant mound, covered with millions of ants. She grabbed the baby up, grabbed her car keys and fled to the vet, actually doing CPR on the unresponsive baby all the way to the vet....baby had an anaphylactic responsie to the massive dose of ant toxins she received....and she now must have allergy shots weekly to desensitiize the baby....and she does not go anywhere without an "epi pen" like syringe that my owner can administer immediately if baby is stung by anything in the yard. Owner tried to blame the baby stating she was already allergic to bug toxins, but the allergy specialists I spoke with (from 5 different sources), all assured me it was the massive toxin dose that baby received, all at once, that started a cascade, and she unraveled from THAT response. If she had already been allergic to the ant toxin, it would have certainly killed her that day. This pwner is a nurse, so I do not know if the vetgave her a bottle of Epinepherine and syringe to carry in her purse to administer, or if there is an actual Epi pen available for dogs. With your baby's profound allergic response, I would not leave the house without something that could save her life...and it would have to be something stronger than Pediatric Benadryl that I squirt in my dog's mouth when he has allergies from mountain cedar pollen! Contact an allergist specialist....perhaps you may need to start allergy shots to desensitive (?? sp ??) the baby.....and then find out about the Epi pen.
