| Oh Im so sorry your little Dennis got stung by a bee. Im glad that he is ok. Here is some info in insects bites just in case. Insect Stings and Bites: * Remove the stinger with tweezers. Or scrape out the stinger, moving parallel to the skin surface, to reduce the chance of pumping more venom into the dog's skin. * Bathe the stung area with a solution of baking soda and water. * Immediately apply ice packs to reduce swelling (lining the pack with cloth or a thin towel). Do this frequently for 5 minutes at a time. * One way to treat bee stings is to give the dog Benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mouth. Typical dosages: for cats and dogs under 30 pounds, give 10 mg...dogs 30 to 50 pounds, give 25 mg...dogs over 50 pounds, give 50 mg. Use only the plain Benadryl formula. * A swollen muzzle often indicates a bee sting. * Stings and bites can cause severe reactions. If there is major swelling, or the animal seems disoriented, sick or has trouble moving or breathing, go to the vet immediately. Even if your pet seems fine, watch him carefully for 24 hours. * Dogs with short and thin fur are more prone to spider bites and scorpion stings. The venom can be very dangerous. |

| Glad he is ok! A few years ago my son & D-I-L had a Papillon that got stung. I was babysitting him and noticed his ears had dropped (Paps have very erect ears) anyway he looked really strange and was rubbing his face on the ground. His entire face and head started looking swollen and I rushed him to the vet. He was having an allergic reaction and they gave him antihistamines. They told me how much Benadryl I could give him in the future (can't remember the dosage now) but I did have to treat him myself when he was stung again a few weeks later.
