Scary run to the ER!!

I would check with your vet, but if I try and remember correctly, I think it is 1mg/1lb body weight. The Children's Benadryl's are 12.5 mg....usually (again check your package).

That is exactly right. Adult Benadryl is 25 mg so I can give a whole one to Lexi. Pyper would only get a half.
 
Poor Pyper. I always have Benadryl around just because of them. Last year my husband got stung over 50 times and Danny a couple times. Thank goodness we had Benadryl on hand. A dog almost died on the island after being stung numerous times. I get Benadryl at the dollar store or when Krogers puts them on sale. Glad Pyper came up to you for help. At least we don't have to worry about bees in the winter. That's one scary picture:eek2:
 
Oh my! Seeing Pyper's pic made me cry. Poor baby really had a bad reaction. I'd hate to think what may have happened if you had waited to see if the swelling went down. I've heard of stings being lethal to some dogs. Gypsy is a bee herder as well but I always correct her afraid something like this would happen. So glad you were quick to react and get her to the vet.

Hugs to Pyper.

My landlords dog had a reaction like that to shellfish. She was so offended at paying $150 for Benadryl that she ordered some. She's a nurse, so is at least qualified to give shots.

She paid $150 to know what to give and how much. Hindsight is always less expensive and less risky.
 
Wow, that is a huge reaction, I am so glad that it is going down and she will be OK!! Hugs to you both after such a scary day!
