we had a huge scare last night Gizzie stuck her little face in a fire ant bed:eek: she started whining and going crazy then my husband saw all the ants on her, mostly her face, so he put her under the faucet in the tub to get them off, after she just layed there she couldnt even hold her head up and her breathing was very faint.. I told him to check her gums and they were paper white so he gave her some Karo(i was on the phone coming home from work) and she eventually started to perk up a little, i can tell her face is swollen and she wasnt herself last night but she got some ham and cheese and she got to sleep in the bed with mommy and daddy so she was feeling a little better today:) |
I am sorry to hear that. I hope she gets feeling better soon. Sounds like she is the way to recovery. |
I'm soo glad she is feeling better!! That is so scary! |
That is scary. Hopefully she will be feeling much better soon. |
I would be giving her some baby benadryl. I had that happen to one of my yorkies but we were off to the vet in a heartbeat! Fire ant bites are nothing to mess with. JMHO. Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |
Be careful! My Chloe got into ants and ended up hospitalized! Keep an eye out for swelling and I hope this to shall pass. |
I hate those ants. They really hurt. Maybe you'll have to give her some benadryl to help with the itches. |
aww poor baby glad she is ok:) |
OMG! How scary...I just watched a program on fire ants the other day... So thankful that she's okay and that she wasnt hurt to bad... |
That is so sad. I hate fire ants. You will have to watch her closely fro a delayed reaction if she had a lot of bites. Good Luck:) |
thats scary hope she starts feeling better. |
OMG! How scary! Have you checked with your vet? I would think she would need Benedryl as Brooklynn suggested. |
Aww poor baby, I am glad she is feeling better. I don't have any experience with fire ants-not sure I have even ever seen one...but I think that happened to someone elses baby on YT too and the baby was ok. |
Thanks everyoen, Gizzie is doing much better now, i didnt know how much benadryl to give her so i just let her lick a few drops off my finger, it knocked her right out but helped with the swelling:) |
We went through the same thing not long ago.. We were at my mom's sister house. And Cody was running around playing in their yard. and i picked him up and he had ants all over him. me and mom were frantically getting them off they were everywhere on his belly. that night i noticed 2 spots on him where he had been bit. i put some hydrocortisone cream on the spots and in a few days the spots were gone. Cody didn't seem to be bothered by him. didnt scratch them. I hope your baby feels better soon!! |
