Bee Sting

Yesterday afternoon on our walk, Lucy stepped on a bee and was stung.  The bee was stuck in her fur on her leg and I had to untangle it.  Her paw pads were crunched together so we went to the emergency at U.W. to get it looked at. Lucy got a shot of Benadryl and some pain pills to help.  We monitored her for swelling incase of a delayed allergic reaction. She rested today and her lameness has improved.  Lucy is 13 and has never ever been stung by a bee!  I felt badly for her.
