I found the link. You can use children's Benadryl about 1 mil/cc to counter the reaction.

Edited to say: Iguess Imp beat me to it. In short, the Benadryl worked but the reaction will still be pretty scary. Expect temporary paralysis and labored breathing. Good luck.

here this is for humans ....

If you are stung by any scorpion, including the venomous Arizona Bark Scorpion, here are some immediate actions you should take:


1.Wash the area of the scorpion sting with soap and water.
2.Apply a cool compress on the area of the scorpion sting. Ice (wrapped in a washcloth or other suitable covering) may be applied to the sting location for 10 minutes. Remove compress for 10 minutes and repeat as necessary.
3.If stung on a limb (arm or leg) elevate the limb to heart level.
4.Call the Banner Poison Control Center Hotline at 1-800-222-1222. If you develop symptoms such as numbness or tingling of extremities or face, blurry vision, or muscle twitching, roving eye movements, go to the nearest emergency room. Young children and older people who are stung by a scorpion should be taken to the emergency room immediately.
5.Keep your tetanus shots and boosters current.

hey forget the small amount i give my 6 pound chinese cresteds 25 mg of benadryl. do 25 mg sweetie. use a needless syringe, keep the chicken upright so it wont go into the lung ( it will fall out of the beak instead) and slowly admin the med one drop at a time
