Here in AZ, we have scorpions, fire ants, spiders etc -- all of which can sting our kiddos. Benadryl is an extremely benign thing to give and yet, it can literally save a life when/if it comes to the histamine response that can happen w/ stings.
I always keep BOTH the pill form of Benadryl and the liquid form (in case you have to force it!) on hand in my doggie ER kit.
You give 1-2mg/pound. For stings, I absolutely give the 2mg/pound. |
Okay; I will remember this and do that asap if this ever happens again. This makes so much sense, too! I have this in our cupboard at all times. Our exterminator told us that around here bugs will come in during the spring. I'll have to see about upping his visits for the time being. She was also at the window when this happened.
To everyone who responded: She's fine; she's back to playing. Hesitant to eat, but we of course fed her small amounts yesterday, and this is very normal. She IS eating, just not as much. This always happens, so by Monday I think things will be back on track.
