My 10 month old Britt got stung by a bee in the left paw about a 1/2 hour ago, and did not complain. But now her face appears to be swelling up! Any help would be appreciated on what a person should do.

Thanx!

Give her a benadryl capsule. They are safe. But not more than 1 at a time. She might get sleepy from the benadryl. Its a scary thing to have happen. We have gone through a bee sting with our dogs a couple times and I did not panic as much the 2nd time as I did in the first incident.

Though if her breathing becomes constricted get her to a vet asap. If you can see the stinger, pull it out.

Good luck!

If you have liquid children's benadryl and a dropper around, that's another good option.

But have caution!!!

We had to give that to one of our cats once. She had this skin thing that made her coat look like swiss cheese.

When we gave it to her, she went crazy. She ripped around the house for a few minutes, and she had a red foam beard. She really didn't like it. But I would think with a bigger dog, that the capsules would be very good.

Thanx for the info! With the help of my son,we managed to hold her down & get the stinger out.(What a wrestling match that was!!) Ran to the store and got the Benadryl,gave her 10mg and she did alright.After a few hours the swelling started to go down & by this morning it was completely gone.

But what an epasode to go thru,never seen a Brittany's face that looked like a St.Bernard!!

I just got my lab back from the trainer. When she was doing some water retrieves she started to limp and hold her paw up. She would not walk on it for a while. Then she started to walk on it and it really swelled up. Just the paw, not the ankle at all. I am wondering if this could be a bee sting? or possibly something broken. Has anyone experienced a swollen paw? if so what did you do? I did not see any bees where she was running.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
