My big guy Cheetah got stung by a bee yesterday morning. That pretty left eye was swollen shut and greatly enlarged and it happened quick. He was laying directly in front of me, I was watching the View & I noticed him rubbing his eye with his paw, when I looked closer I could not believe how swollen his eye and jaw had become. (no pic, as I just wanted this allergic reaction to stop.) He weights around 95lbs. I gave him 3 Benedryl, followed by 3 more in 3 hrs. The swelling did start to subscide by evening and he is back to almost normal 30hrs later. I am still giving Benedryl, just not as much...Poor boy, he ran so well at practice Thur.
Bees, fleas, ticks, mosquitos, ah....Spring..
