Oliver and the bee

A couple of saturdays ago, I was getting ready to go out to dinner when Lily yelled" Olies been stung by a bee"!! Oh dear here we go I thought, no dinner and a HUGE vet bill! We couldn't find an obvious place that he had been stung so assumed he may have swallowed the bee. He went very quiet very quickly and rather floppy with short breaths. It seemed like anaphalactic shock but not too extreme. I rang Murdoch vet and the girl told me I could bring him in for a needle (at great cost) but that I could give him antihistimine if I wanted too. I decided to take a risk, trust my instincts and give him a quarter of a tablet of antihistimine. It did the trick in about 7 mins. Whew....stressful!! I'm glad it was all ok. It's hard to tell the outcome at the time. Hopefully he will stay away from bees in future but I doubt thats the last dangerous moment for our little adventure seeker!!!
