This morning, I opened my front door to let my son and dogs on to the front porch. A little bit later I hear my dogs Jack and Rosebud let out whimpers. Like one of them got hurt. Rosebud came in rubbing her face on the carpet so I was looking for a bee sting, but didn't see anything. A few minutes later my son comes in crying his finger is red and I can see where he was stung. He wouldn't sit still long enough for me to really exam it. He crawled under the table with Jack and then I saw it...the left side of Jacks face was swollen. So, I got out the benadryl for both of my boys. I felt so bad for them...the benadryl made them sleepy and we snuggled on the couch for a bit.

Are they ok now? Yeah, one way to treat bee stings is to give the dog Benadryl.

Yeah, they both are doing good. The swelling went down in a few hours. Thanks for asking!

Did you successfully removed the bee stingers? Glad they were fine.

My sons sting was easy...Jacks was a bit harder...it was around his wiskers...

I remember my old dog who past away, Mitch...She has same situation to Jack but we fortunately remove the bee sting and got only small effect to her...
