Thank God he is ok,Thankfully I have only had 2 dogs stung out of my lot,Isla had no reaction at all apart from being sick straight after it,Bracken was stung in the eye and his whole eye swelled up.
I have a friend who has a |German shepherd and she was stung in the face and her whole head swelled up,she was like something out of a Horror movie

so glad to hear he is ok...my kai is forever trying to catch them.

Glad he is ok

Shawnee eats anything that buzzes round - flies, bluebottles, bees and wasps

I make sure i have some piriton in the house just in case she does get stung but she has avoided it so far

Ask your vet about antihystamines such as hayfever tablets and if they can be given to dogs , as a precation if you can give them it may mean if he gets stung again you could give him one and maybe the reaction wont get so bad , dont quote me on this but im sure a while ago one of my clients who is a vet in australia said they can be given for allergic reactions from stings ect .

What a shame! I do worry about the worst happening to my boy! But has he learnt NO

I hope he is feeling better soon.

Duke has a severe re-action to stings, the first sting, he had a very bad re-action to the second time we nearly lost him. The vet explained that it could be fatal next time its something to do with his immune system. At the time its difficult to take in what is being said.

I worried about taking him out in the summer but I put things back into perspective, none of our other dogs have ever been stung. The reason he was stung, in fact we were all stung that year was because of a wasps nest in our wall vent.

Hubby tried to get rid of them, when wasps are under attack they release a hormone feramone not sure of the spelling and basically very wasp from miles around joins in to defend - great so we had to get the experts in, who confirmed hubby was using the same stuff but he didn't have an adaptor to fire it directly on the nest.

I have hairless dogs and they tend to get reactions to a lot of things. I always give Piriton, benedryl or asda own make anti hystamines.
