Quick! Help! Scorpion sting to the face

[phoenixmama]

Poor flower took a sting to the face just now from a bark scorpion. She seems to be swallowing hard and keeps scratching at her face. She is all hunched down and acts as if she doesn't want to move. Is there anything that I can do? Can I give a chicken a Benadryl?

Give her a few drips.. can't hurt her. i gave Benadryl to a dog once that got stung, no idea of dose, just gave it to her as her muzzle almost swelled shut.

I see that you found an old thread on this. There was a person about 2 months ago who gave their hen Benadryl after scorpion sting and the hen survived.

Good luck. Keep us posted.
