Patches came back in with her nose looking like this Pic below I hope Patches weighs 12# can i give her a 25 mg Benadyrly or is that too much hate to take her to the Pet ER since they are so expensive and have them just give her a Benadyrl 25 mg???????

OMG, it looks like she got stung by a bee or wasp. Did you check inside her mouth if possibly a honey bee. Clifford got stung when he was a pup on his leg and it took 30 minutes to locate the the stinger that was still pump the venom.
Rays coming for a quick nose reduction.
Our vet says eLlIe (11.8 lbs) can have 1/2 or 1 full 25mg Benadryl people pill .
Thanks so much Eillie and Patches weigh about the same so I'm going to give her a whole one and watch her like a hawk. Thanks ever so much.

Looks like she was stung! This happened to Skeeter a couple weeks ago. Poor little thing couldn't even bare her teeth at me. The Benedryl will help, but it could take a couple of days for the swelling to go down. If she doesn't improve after the Benedryl or gets worse, take her to the E-vet right away.
I will take her to the vet if it gets any worse she ate all her breakfast even some our bacon for breakfast in her bowl of course do not want to start having a begging hound. she does not seem to have any breathing problems nor has she had any seizures or anything.I did give her a Benadrl just trying to slide to Monday. Our Fur kids seem to be just like kids everthing happens on the weekend or after hours or holidays. Heck it cost couple of hundred dollars when you walk in the door at the Pet ER so just trying to make it to Monday if she gets any worse will take her to the Pet ER she does have insurance on her VIP Pet insurance last time with the stick episode they did not pay every much very disappointed with them. Thought with emergency's they paid most of it,guess not.

:comfort: Oh my Goodness....Poor Patches!!! We hope her nose goes way down after the benedryl....that works for my two when they get stung....we hope you don't have to take her to the ER!!! Love and kisses to Patches to feel better real soon!!
Gunner got bit by a bee a few years ago and his muzzle swelled up, we took him to the vet and he got a benadryl shot, prednisone and had to take benadryl at home. He said you can't over dose on benadryl. Gunner also got hives, on the ears out of his. Some dogs have an allergic reaction to the bee bit so everyone should be careful, someone on another board her dog went into shock---so be careful.
Poor Patches ! How is her nose looking now? Sending rays and prayers that the swelling is going down. Please keep us posted !
Thank you one & all for the Rays they worked fast + a little help from the Benadryl her nose is almost back to normal still a little puffy thinking of giving her one more Benadryl in the morning for extra security?Sure was worried about hersince her nosey was huge at least her eyes did not swell any.Tonight their was a fly in the house yep she went after it guess she did not learn her lesson but a fly make make a different noise than a wasp or bee so hope she stays away from them.
Thanks again for all the Rays and good thoughts.
