A few weeks ago I had to take Moose to the vet because he had some mysterious blistery out break. The vet said Moose had hives. He probably was bitten by something and he had a reaction. She gave him a steroid shot and a benadryl shot and recommended that he take benadryl for three days. A few hours after the shots he was looking much better.
Then a few weeks later he was stung by a few bee's. He didn't cry or yelp when he was stung. I think it startled him more than anything. I was sitting outside at someones house and Moose came walking over all weird. I looked at him and saw he had something on his back. I got up to look and saw it was a bee. I went to brush the bee off and he turned his head real fast and banged it on a lawn chair, that hurt him because that's when he yelped. Well I knocked the bee off and had to crush it, because that's what you do with bee's that sting. I think he may have been stung three times his neck, back and leg. It knocked him for a loop and I didn't have any benadryl to give him. All his umph was gone, it jacked him up. He had trouble walking, so I laid him down on a blanket and he just sat for awhile and then laid down. We finally came home but then I had nothing to feed him that I could hide the benadryl in, plus I don't think he was really in the mood to eat, so he ruffed it til morning and then I gave him some peanut butter with the benadryl stashed in it. He was a little out of sorts until evening then he was back to normal. Poor Moose dog, for such a little guy he takes a beating.
