My 2 pups have just been stung by wasps being a bloody bank hol vets are 5 times more expensive ....?

Question

is there any thing i can do? i got told to bath them in vinegar and have done to relieve the sting. one has been stung alover the body the other in the mouth.please help me !!!!

Answer 1

If possible, remove the sting with tweezers. Then apply a baking-soda paste. Cold packs (ice or wet cloths) will help to relieve the pain and swelling. Calomine lotion will ease the itching. If the swelling persists a few days, take the dog to the veterinarian. The dog may have an allergic reaction.

Hope this Helps

Answer 2

everything Robert said but no calamine for the one that got stung in the mouth

Answer 3

Had a quick look in one of my books and confirm as robert G says.

Only really wanted to add - be really careful depending on the quantity of stings. Poor dog must be really uncomfortable.

You may need to go to the vet anyway for pain relief.
