Next time, whether he is stung in the throat or anywhere, give him half a Benadryl tablet, immediately. This will stop the reaction from developing fully.

And Benadryl doesn't have all the nasty side effects of those steroids!

PS: Call your vet and verify how much he can have, it is based on weight of the dog. Marlin is 19 pounds and is allowed 3/4 of a tablet. Sugar is 12 pounds and can only have half.


I always have Benadryl in the house, one of those must have first aid things.
