I have *twice* taken my little one to the vets with stings this summer for emergency treatment as she had a horrible reaction both times

Do you know that it was a wasp, or could it have been a bee? How swollen is she? Any reactions? (Pop's breathing seemed troubled, and she got hives all over her tummy

)

well i saw her get stung and picked her up and was wanting for o/h when she got aggitated and jumped off and i thought i was a wasp but it could of been a bee dont really know the difference in appearence.

her breathings fine. shes currenlty asleep in her basket swelling isnt huge but could notice it

if only they could talk

Give the vet a call, our vets normally ask the clients to give piriton and a dosage, others ask to see them asap, usually the swelling gets worse esp around the face area, staffie's usually swell up like footballs and come out in hives all over

and take a pretty bad reaction, others just swell and otherwise they are ok.
I would give the vet a quick call just for a little advice b4 it gets any later, if they don't want to see her they will advise u what to look out for it any other symptoms arise.
