bee sting duffy must be allergic

| I would ask your vet. |
| Definitely ask your vet... reactions get worse per exposure. |
| Ask your vet for advice on what to do the next time this happens.
Panda had an allergic reaction to either a bee sting or Metronidazole. http://oesusa.com/Panda-5-27-08-AllergicReaction.jpg At the first sign of allergic reaction, I give 63 pound Panda 75mg of Benedryl orally. If the Benedryl doesn't work or if she starts to wheeze, I'm to call first, then do a subcutaneous injection of Deximethasone (a short acting steroid). I keep a syringe of Deximethasone on hand in case of an emergency because it's about 20-30 minutes for us to get to the vet. That's our emergency plan anyway... |
| My son has localized allergic reactions to bee stings.
For instance, if he gets bit on the hand, it blows up... just the hand though. His Dr and the ER Dr told us to give him Benadryl. But if it gets worse to go to the ER. Do they have Epi-pens for dogs? |
| That's exactly what I asked about... my former brother-in-law had to keep
one on hand. The vet nix it and said to use this instead. But maybe it was just for Panda's particular reaction?? |
| For that severe a reaction, I would ask for Epi to use while on the way to the ER vet. |
| hmm...
The Drs. Foster and Smith website says to ask for an epi-pen. I'm going to have to question my vet about this again... she didn't recommend it for Panda because it speeds up the heart. 
http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm ... icleid=507 Quote: For animals that are allergic to insect bites, such as bees, ask your veterinarian about getting a prescription for an 'epi-pen' and be sure to take the 'epi-pen' with you on any trips or hikes. An 'epi-pen' is a special syringe and needle filled with a single dose of epinephrine. If your pet has an anaphylactic reaction, inject the epinephrine using the 'epi-pen' and seek emergency veterinary assistance immediately. |
