Poor Hank! Stung by a bee! With pics...

I came home early from work because I have a pounding migraine and found Hank like this:

Hubby is home today and didn't notice. LOL He was cleaning the screens and spraying wasps and bees--so Hank must have gotten way too close to one! I pulled the stinger out which was still stuck in his lip. I gave him some ice (to lick/eat) and he's drinking water. I called the vet and they said to give him a Benadryl, which I did...he's now working on a "Pupsicle" Frosty Paws thing...

Hubby was saying how Hank is going to cost us a lot of $$$, LOL....

Poor Hank....between the cat litter and everything else--he's got his neutering appointment & rabies vaccine on Monday morning, too!

Yeah...the swelling is already going down on one part (the front) of his face--but it's the same towards the back--so I'm wondering if there's another stinger in there, still....

Maybe it was a bee ?
Wasps dont lose their stingers when then sting you its only bees .

Must have been, then? I just saw a bunch of wasps around since hubby was spraying their nests...Hank is asleep now and the swelling seems to be little bit better

Hank is a pretty boy, what is he?

My dog got stung by a bee once and his whole face swelled up. I called the vet and they said to give him Benedryll .

My Beagle Jypsy always swells up like that when she gets stung, we keep childrens benadryl on hand for her....
She got stung on the muzzle once and her whole mouth and nose were huge! She looked like a cartoon! It always goes away by the next day though.
I think it really hurts, at least she acts like it does, but she's an awful baby and really hams anything like that up.......
Poor guy! He'll be fine though
