Rushing Luma to ER vet - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

OMG! Poor Luma! Thank goodness you got her to the vet when you did! Keep us updated. Poor baby.

Glad she's okay.
A few weeks ago Moki go stung by a honey bee. He knocked the bee off and the stinger and 1/2 the bee was on him. I got it off. Maybe because it didn't get all the venom or it was just a honey be he didn't reach much. I took him to the Vet and they just gave him benadryl and game me a syringe to dose again if needed. A week later he go stung by a Hornet. Just like Wasp they don't leave a singer and gan sting again. He wen limp right away. Thought he was gonna die. The ER Vet gave him some Benadryl and something else. Now I carry it where ever I go if it's warm. Surprising how he goes from limp to nothing ever happened once he gets it.

Well, she is in good hands. So glad they are keeping her to observe for a while. Such a scary, scary thing. I can't imagine how people dealt with this type sting in the old days before Benadryl was on hand and vets very close!

Tongue sting! Don't you know that hurt! All those nerve endings there for that venom to hit! No wonder she was drooling like crazy. Even the slightest burn to a tongue is so painful but a wasp sting! Poor little thing.

She just is a mess. I was so scared...she was drooling and foaming at the mouth, crying nonstop. She was being held by the vet and is shaking but seems okay. I just want to get her home and hold her all night. My poor baby. Thank you guys for the well wishes! If this ever happens again...I may pull the fire station plan! I never thought of that.

Bee stings hurt alot, maybe for even a few days. Also have a discussion with your vet on how to feed her, I'm sure her tongue will be painful. I'm thinking some chicken baby food for a few days...

Poor Luma... I'm glad she's well taken care of and is okay. Update when you get back to the vet. I know you're still freaking out

We are here for you!

So sorry for Luma, but very grateful that your vet was still open and you were able to get in to get help.

Hope you all have a restful evening tonight.

Lovetodream88 · 09-22-2012, 02:38 PM

Poor Luma keeping her in my prayers and hope the swelling goes down very soon.

Carmeow · 09-22-2012, 02:44 PM

Shes getting a prescription for steroids. Twice a day for the next week. Also benadryl every 8 hours. We also picked up some hw pills...but she has to have a hw test before we can start them. I figured she should just get it done now, poor thing is really being put through the ringer. Ot may seem kind of mean to subject her to a hw test on top of everything else, but I just wanted it done so we dont have to come back to the vet HOPEFULLY for a long, long time.
