On a more serious note, if your dogs are like mine (chase anything that buzzes) a reaction can cause organ failiure!

Lucy was stung in her ear last year after finding a bees nest (stupid dog!), and oh my god, i thought she was dying - you've never heard anything like it in your life! Talk about screaming!!! Anyhoo's, i got the sting out and she wasn't allergic and soon got over it...after a big fuss and cuddle from mummy!!
That was bad enough - can't imagine having one who was allergic!

Hmm, tricky one, I'm with my dogs for most of the day so don't have that problem. Is he not shut in a kennel or in the house when you're out?

Think my JR may have been stung at sometime, as runs from anything that goes buzz (including flys!!).

Situation normal
One of my cats got stung on the nose as a kitten. Nearly lost him

This may help to know if your dog does get stung.
Piriton (Chlorphenamine) 0.4mg per kg, three times a day
Atarax (Hydroxyzine) 2mg per kg, three times a day
Trimeprazine (phenothiazine) 0.5mg per kg, twice a day
Tavegil (clemastine) 0.05mg per kg, twice a day
Periactin (cyproheptadine) 0.1mg per kg, twice a day
Let's say your dog is 20kgs. If you want to give it Piriton then the max dose is 8mg three times a day. Piriton tablets are 4mg, so you could give 2 tablets, three times a day - maximum. You can give dogs lots more than you can give humans.

Alf has a special way of dealing with buzzy things.............
Catch a bee
Spit it out
Catch it again
Spit it out again
Keep doing this until bee immobilised with lurcher dribble
Stand over bee and bark VERY loudly for a long, long time
Wait for barking to alert mum to bee situation and make safe
He has been doing this with no ill effects since I've had him so he must be immune.

Shouldn't think I'll have to worry about that with my two, they saw a big bee last week bumbling around (as bumble bees do!) and were scared to death of this big hovering pom pom! They should've seen one before - they are 2!

One of the dogs at the yard eats wasps, and seems to have had no ill effect on him!

My dog tried to play with a jellie fish and got stung in her mouth. She was not a happy puppy. Hasn't touched one since!

Foxyfilly - thanks for putting the dosage of antihistamines on - we have a very itchy dog who was terrible the other night but I didn't dare to give her human piriton in case it overdosed her. I took her to the vets the next day and he put her on steroids for 10 days then we're going to try her on antihistamines.

Laughing out loud at this - what a typical lurcher thing to do......
