Wasp Sting in Mouth

Ben has just been stung in the mouth by a wasp, he was frantically shaking his head and pawing, the wasp is now well and truly squashed on the floor, my vets don't open again until 3.30. What should I do. He is now lying back down but is hiding under the desk, he is no longer shaking his head and I keep checking and his lips tongue etc all seem normal.

I have human antihistamine - cetrizine, not piriton. Should I give him 1 they are 10mg or should I do nothing and phone vet again in half hour.

Sorry to be so stupid, just worried.

If he is breathing ok and his tongue etc are not blue then I would say he should be ok
That happened to one of my dogs and she was fine I didnt have to go to the vet

Thanks for your quick reply, he is just lying and is breathing fine, I keep disturbing him to check his tounge, gums etc and they seem normal.

You would soon know if there was a problem . If the sting is not near his airway then he will be ok . Just keep doing what you are doing ie keeping an eye on him

Awwwww poor Ben,give him hugs from me hun.Nasty wasps,seems to be loads of them around atm.xxxxxxxx

Ok just checked again and the left had upper lip is all swelling up, but not his airways just his lip.

Poor Ben. It sounds like he is fine now. I would just keep an eye on him but it doesn't sound like he has had a reaction to the sting at all. Bloomin' wasps are everywhere at the moment and so sluggish, they are just an open invitation for an inquisitive dog.x

if there is swelling get him to the vet now hun quickly

If you are worried give your vets a call in a couple of minutes. As long as it is just his lip he should be fine. It's been a long time since I've been stung but my hand did swell a bit but not like a dangerous reaction.

lynne can you phone my moblie, I just tried yours and its switched off
