I had this happen to our basset! Called the vet pronto and they told us to give him Benadryl. The bee stung him on the snout!

Bassets always lead with their nose!

I am glad your baby is better!

Glad hes doing good now!!! I have a dog that chases bees all the time and I can't make her stop! She got stung on the lip one time and it swelled up. Ever seen a dog with a fat lip? It was so pitiful that is was funny. :oops:

Ouch, poor puppy. I hope he is going to be ok. We have to watch for rattle snakes here. They offer classes for owners as to what to do if pet is bitten.

My dog sticks his face into fire ant hills and blisters where they sting him. Stupid dog. I do watch to make sure he doesn't swell up though. I keep Benadryl on hand (usually for me as I'm allergic to mosquito bites) Glad to know I can give them to him if necessary.

Both our dogs have issues with allergies - Sadie gets ear infections from them. Heidi just gets the runny nose and eyes. Yes, our 4-legged friends can suffer just like we do.
