When Byron was a pup he got stung and had to take him to the Emergency Vet - His nose was swelling. He was treated and released.<br />
<br />
When always have Benadryl on hand- He does seem to get stung once a year.

Yes John, dogs can suffer anaphylactic shock too. And some of what I've read... there can be lingering effects so we're keeping an eye on Griffyn for the next few days, just in case.

Administer up to 1mg. of Benadryl per pound of body weight.<br />
Be sure the Benadryl is the regular type for allergies, not the sinus one [which contains decongestants also]..

Honeybee stingers are barbed and stick in the skin; the bee eviscerates itself when it tries to fly away. They can sting once. The stinger left in the skin often contains additional venom that can be squeezed through the stinger if you simply grab the stinger with tweezers, so avoid this. Supposedly, a poultice made of tobacco is effective in reducing sting inflammation.<br />

Wasps (learn to tell them apart) can sting multiple times. They are more aggressive, mostly in late summer when they're hungry -- they're running out of all the grubworms and cutworms they've been eating in your garden (if you like insect pests, remove wasp nests).<br />
Honeybees kill more people in the US than any other wild animal. Anaphylactic shock, one of the true life-threatening first aid emergencies (I believe most commonly in auburn-haired and possibly blonde people). I don't think Benadryl will handle real anaphylactic shock; that's what an epi-pen is for (epinephrine).<br />

QUESTIONS:<br />
1. Does anybody know if dogs are susceptible to anaphylactic shock from bee stings? or is this just a human thing?<br />
2. How do you administer Benadryl to a dog? How much?<br />
3. What about 1% cortisone cream (I usually have some of that at home)? Glad to hear he's ok!! Thanks…tag:mycorgi.com,2010-01-29:1150197:Comment:6031942010-01-29T15:51:46.002ZDR, Nala & Simonhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/DIRRNala

Sparty has been stung many times. Fortunately he is not allergic because his reaction to the first sting was to declare war on any flying insect. If he sees one he instantly goes for it. If there are bees around I have to keep a close eye on him.

This happened to Gem and her snout kept swelling and swelling..had to take her in and have her looked at and she was on Prednisone for a few days which immediately helped it. The things they get into to!!
