My three dogs got stung bye yellow jackets about 1 to 2 hours agowhat should I do.?

Question

two of them are pups and one fully grown. Please help!

Answer 1

Depending on the placement of the stings, you should check to see if the stinger is still embedded, if it is, by SCRATCHING it out, you can alleviate the pain. Usually, only bees leave stingers.

If you pinch the stinger, you will push more venom into the wound, Scratching it out (gently) with a piece of thick paper or your nails can help get it out.

You can place some honey on the injury to help with the external pain. Call your vet and tell them the weights of your dog so you can get appropriate dosages of benadryl for them to help with the itching. You can also make a paste with baking soda and water and put it on the wound (without honey on it!) to extract any toxins.

If the stings are inside the dogs mouth or on the nose, take them to the vet immediately. A sting can swell and inhibit breathing.

If your dog ever starts breathing heavily, shaking, frothing (foaming at the mouth), refusing water, throwing up, or collapsing, you HAVE to get your dog to the vet. Many pets are allergic to stings.

Answer 7

Not much you can do. Just put some cool water in the tub and place them in it. This will sooth the pain. Also, take your finger and put some baking soda on the stings. Won't hurt dogs if they l**k some of it.  

Answer 8

if they start to get really lethargic or if they start to breathe heavily, take them to the vet right away. and if you vet isn't open today take them to the a vet emergency.
