Omgoodness...poor baby. My Luma was stung at a dog park and had a massive allergic reaction. We rushed her to the vet but there was sooo much traffic...all while my baby lay on my lap wheezing, throat swelled shut, eyes swelled shut and her eyelids and lips cherry red...crying in a strangled, muffled way....when we got there she receieved similar treatment as your baby and I said "NEVER again". I asked my vet to order an epipen for us. We carry it with us every time the girls go outside- on a walk, at the dog park, anywhere their paws will touch the ground and could get stung or bitten.

My dog could have died had we not made it in time. An epipen will DELAY an allergic reaction, but you should administer it immediately and then get to the vet ASAP for proper treatment. Delaying the reaction can be enough to save a life so its definitely worth it to carry one around. they do expire and the pet epipen is different from a human one so be sure to order one from your vet.
