OH MY GOSH Dawn!! I would have FREAKED!!! Where'd she find a bee? Had she just come in from outside? I sure hope she's feeling better now, and YOU too!
Scary run to the ER!!

Poor girl, glad she is going to be ok. We had an apple trees some years back and cut it down, drew too many bees.
Then the neighbor had a compost pile and it harvested hornets, I called and asked him to burn the pile before the surrounding neighbors, kids and dogs got stung. The hornets were terrible in that pile of crap he had.
So glad Pyper is going to be fine.

It was very sunny here yesterday and I leave the slider open a crack for the dogs to go in and out. She must have found a bee in the backyard. You know how shelties are about things that move.
We were very lucky, because we have an emergency vet open 24/7 within 10 minutes of here ( although I think I cut that to 5 minutes yesterday). It's a brand new clinic super nice with great people. They saw me come in the door and within seconds one of the girls was around the counter taking Pyper from me and rushing her to the back.
I didn't even think the bill was unreasonable. $191.00 for three injections and the emergency fee.

I'm sorry I missed this until now! I'm so glad that pupper is on the mend.
These damned dog just keep us on our toes.
I can't think how many times I saved both Indy and Bacca from certain death by just being alert to subtle changes in behaviour or just a different sound that they would normally make.
Indy would probably most certainly have died if I did not hear him smacking his gums in a funny way one morning. I looked over at him and saw a thread hanging out of his mouth. I opened his mouth just in time to see a sewing needle go down his throat. Rush to emergency, and a very expensive stomach surgery later the needle was extracted.
But if I had missed that, the needle would eventually have worked its way through his bowels, and I don't even want to think about what would have happened then.
All to say, know your dogs! If they are acting weird, its probably for good reason. Dawn, this is a great reminder!
