Have you any Piriton ?

A tablet or tsp if liquid should help. I was advised this with Ollie when he had been stung by wasps. He weighed in at 70kg so was able to handle an adult dose.

I always keep the homoeopathic remedy Vespa for use, but you can use Piriton (better researched than Piriteze) it is an antihistamine so should help.

Yes you can give it, but in the future have some Piriton to hand, the ingredients are different but it is safe to give Piriteze in a situation like this.

Always have some Piriton in your First Aid Box (check with your vet next time you are in that he is happy for you to give it or recommend something else)

Pleased to hear Jilly is ok today.

Len is a wasp chaser and often gets stung...... luckily, apart from the pain this "sometimes" causes, he doesn't learn his lesson and still tries to eat them.

The last sting a couple of weeks ago made the side of his jaw swell up.

He is such a numpty.......
