Carpe Diem Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 She is medium sized shaggy fur. She had several in her fur and there are now a few storming around the house that followed her in when she ran in the house. Any idea what we should do for her? What should we watch for? She seems okay at the moment. She ate a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I would definitely call your vet ASAP or one of those emergency numbers for pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolly Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Benadryl. Btdt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Give the Benadryl and make the call. Watch for excessive swelling around the stings or signs of respiratory distress. If you notice continued signs of a reaction even if you think you haven't allowed the Benadryl enough time, drive to the closest vet. We almost lost Dd's 15 month old dog this summer from a reaction to a sting and he almost didn't make it. He could not walk by the time I got him to the vet's office. Our vet is 5 minutes from us, any further and he would have died. The people I was speaking with over the phone did not realize the seriousness of the reaction I was describing to them.

Since it is now night time, and if you know where the nest is, get outside and blast it.(or your DH).

Carpe Diem Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hello, Thank you so much for your replies. Our dog is okay. The vet said to give the benedryl. I think she had a couple stings. She is reluctant to go outside now. We are still finding wasps in the house. shanvan so glad your puppy is okay. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
