K-9 FIRST AID


Stings

Signs/Symptoms
  • Pain
  • Swelling and redness
  • Pawing at face
  • Snapping in the air
Treatment

If you see the stinger, get it out. Cool compression will help alleviate the sting. Give oral benedryl (diphenhydramine 2-4mg/kg orally every 8 hours). Seek medical attention if swelling persists/gets worse or if the sting is near the head/neck/throat area.

This information is only a guide for giving first aid to a dog. It is not intended to replace veterinary care, but to give FIRST AID until you can get professional help.
